Human variation in anatomy is a field of study that investigates the differences in the anatomical structures of individuals within and across populations. This article explores the extent and nature of anatomical variation, its genetic and environmental determinants, clinical implications, and applications in medical practice, forensic science, and anthropological research. By understanding the patterns and causes of anatomical variation, we can enhance diagnostic accuracy, personalize medical treatments, and gain insights into human evolution and diversity.
