Gradients, spectrums and distributions describe the quantifiable diversity in humans. People have different heights, weights, eye colors, and other numerically measurable qualities. We’re exposed to this and it’s not surprising.
What this thread is talking about is things like extra fingers, missing or extra nerves and muscles, and varying structural differences.
I recently started learning a lot about the muscular and nervous system in the hip area. Even on Wikipedia you routinely read things like „this muscles is missing in x% of population”. It blew my mind that there is so much difference to our internal structure.
The genetic code is basically configuring a generic vertebrate body; the same sort of variation we see between vertebrate species we can also see as developmental variation in a species.
