	Human variability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Human variability, or human variation, refers to the range of possible values for any measurable characteristic, physical or mental, of human beings.
		This article discusses variabilities that characterize a person for all or much of his or her lifetime, and are perceived as not purely learned or readily changed (such as religion, language, customs, or tastes).
		Much social controversy surrounds the assigning or distinguishing of some categories, with variation between groups in a society or between societies as to the degree to which a difference is part of a person's "essential" nature or is partly a socially constructed attribution.

		Various religious groups have raised objections and controversy concerning the theory of humanity's evolution from a common ancestor with the other hominoids.
		Human children, typically weighing 3-4 kilograms and 50-60 centimetres in height, are born after a nine-month gestation period.
		While humans have all these characteristics, from the biological viewpoint "what distinguishes humans from all other animals?" is an odd question: there's no one thing that makes cats, dolphins, or song sparrows unique beyond the concept of species.

		Some characteristics (e.g., skincolor) vary continuously in a population, but the continuum may be socially divided into a small number of distinct categories.Some characteristics vary bimodally (sexual orientation, handedness), with fewer people in intermediate categories.
		Much social controversy surrounds the assigning or distinguishing of some categories, with variation between groups in asociety or between societies as to the degree to which a difference is part of a person's "essential" nature or is partly a socially constructed attribution.

	Human variability definition by The Linux Information Project
		Human variability refers to the fact that there is a range of possible values for each of the numerous physical and mental characteristics of human beings.
		Individuals in many species, including humans, are highly aware even from infancy of the differences among individuals in their own species, and they are usually far more aware of the variability in their own species than in other species.
		The unique benefit of variability in the case of humans is that it has been a major factor in the advance of civilization, such as improvements in technology (including medicine and other disciplines that extend life expectancies and enhance the quality of life), advances in the arts and even the development of democracy.

	Diversity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Diversity is the presence of a wide range of variation in the qualities or attributes under discussion.
		Variation between individuals in the population; typically, diversity refers to genetic variation.
		These critics claim that "pluralism" is a more accurate term for the presence of variation, and that, under the banner of "diversity," groups actually forbid criticism of groups that are, in essence, privileged by their minority status.

	Human Genetics - Introduction
		Portions of human genetics will be covered in other basic medical science courses and, of course, all areas will be expanded during the clinical years.
		Human genetics is the most rapidly expanding area of medicine and, without serious editing, could easily consume the entire medical curriculum.
		As we should discover as we progress through this course, there are advantages to variability that allows us to adapt and survive changing environments, and there are costs associated with the maintenance of this variability in the human population.

		Variability which limits activities in some way is generally regarded as a disability but this label is often contentious; for example, many who are deaf do not see themselves as being disabled.
		Many genetic variations which are considered undesirable are governed by recessive genes, and therefore arise from matings of people who do not display the characteristic.
		In modern times many of these variations have been identified and in some cases can be detected before conception of a child or while the child is still in vitro, raising the possibility of abortion.

	CDC - Antigenic and Genetic Variability of Human Metapneumoviruses

		Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV), the major viral cause of severe respiratory tract illnesses in children, is the type species of the pneumoviruses (5).
		The amino acid sequence variation between the viruses from 1981 and 2001 was in the same range as the variation found between viruses from 2001, and alignments of the sequences did not indicate fixation of amino acid changes between 1981 and 2002.

		Unfortunately, all this variation and the wealth of data are open to interpretations and misinterpretations and the valid scientific meaning is often lost in the rhetoric of current sociopolitical debates.
		That humans from any population in the world may learn the same languages, participate in unraveling the human genome, and understand relativity theory suggests a broad underlying communality of cognitive and intellectual abilities.
		All human populations are equally endowed with the physiological and cognitive competencies needed for participating in modern human cultural activities.

	Human population facing long wave variability: an ecological approach
		Understanding this coupling between human life and climate is very strait forward as we know there is a day/night cycle produced by Earth's rotation, and a seasonality resulting from the Earth's orbiting around the sun.
		Since natural decadal variability exists and affects biological populations, standing crops of the natural stock of resources for human consumption and utilization are also variate.
		Humanity can learn from observation to control the environmental variability better then the rest of the species and earlier than evolutionary time-scale.

		There are several misconceptions which have historically mislead people about human variability: In Europe where extensive intermixing over centuries, even millennia, has produced a more or less homogeneous population, minor differences in language and culture have misled certain people (e.g.
		With respect to the peoples of Africa where modern man originated about 80,000 years ago the surface characteristic of skin color has masked the extensive variabilty which has built up over the tens of millennia with respect to numerous other characteristics.

	Homo erectus 'to' modern man: evolution or human variability?
		The variation, individual to individual, is considerable and this is exactly one of the points which I am attempting to make- 'evolution' has nothing to do with it.
		After careful study of hundreds of scientific descriptions, and photographs of scores of fossil humans, it is clear to me that all shades of intergrading exist between 'ancient' erectus and modern humans, but the chronological patterns of appearance, even using the evolutionists' own dating methods, do not match the predictions of the theory.
		In view of the clear-cut and unmistakeable morphological gap between apes and humans, I believe that human fossil study provides strong circumstantial evidence in favour of the theistic view of origins as outlined in the early chapters of the book of Genesis, as against the current view that random or chance genetic accidents were responsible.

		The very expression "intracultural variability" is just such a reminder for social anthropologists, and every so often it serves as the banner for a special issue (American Ethnologist 1975) or a session such as this one.
		Moreover, the variability is manifest both as inter-individual differences and as cognitive pluralism.
		In such cases, then, variability is not merely a matter of free variation among functionally-equivalent alternatives, but rather the adaptive outcome of competition among the problem-solvers.
