Anatomical polymorphism refers to the presence of multiple distinct anatomical variations within a population or species. It is a manifestation of the rich diversity that exists in the human anatomy, encompassing differences in size, shape, number, and arrangement of various body structures. This mini-review aims to explore the underlying mechanisms, evolutionary significance, and potential implications of anatomical polymorphism in human populations. By delving into specific examples of polymorphic traits, we highlight how such variations contribute to our understanding of human development, adaptation, and medical sciences. The study of anatomical polymorphism provides valuable insights into the complexity and versatility of the human body, opening new avenues for research and medical advancements.
