Evolutionary Strategies for Body Size.

Frontiers in endocrinology - 1 Jan 2020

Little Michael A

Abstract excerpt

Humans show marked variation in body size around the world, both within and among populations. At present, the tallest people in the world are from the Netherlands and the Balkan countries, while the shortest populations are central African Pygmies. There are genetic, genetic plasticity, developmental, and environmental bases for size variation in Homo sapiens from the recent past and the present. Early...
