Human biodiversity and the global distribution of sports talent

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

To our knowledge, this study constitutes the most detailed attempt to cover the extent of human physical variation in the global context.

They also reveal a surprisingly high degree of physical differences even within relatively small geographical regions (e.g.
