👉 Cognitive ability in the context of Human variability

Human variability, or human variation, is the range of possible values for any characteristic, physical or mental, of human beings.

Frequently debated areas of variability include cognitive ability, personality, physical appearance (body shape, skin color, etc.) and immunology.Variability is partly heritable and partly acquired (nature vs. nurture debate).As the human species exhibits sexual dimorphism, many traits show significant variation not just between populations but also between the sexes.
