• Resumen

  • Williams talks about human body sizes and shapes. It doesn't take a scientist to spot that human bodies are all a variation on a theme: one head and for the most part the same number of limbs and organs in the same places. But they clearly come in all shapes and sizes. What's more, the template for human bodies has changed over the course of human evolution and is still changing today. What aspects of an individual's body are unique? And what will future humans look like? None of human physical attributes differs more obviously than stature.
