In fact, most of the characteristics that we use to define the genus Homo, such as brain size and hip morphology, are no longer valid. No other species exists with this mix of primitive and derived traits. Why is there so much morphological variation in the genus Homo? And what force is driving that variation?

Quote examples
Peter R. Grant
American Scientist
To summarize, the particular song a male sings, and the behavioral responses of females to song and morphological signals, are not genetically inherited in a fixed manner but are determined by learning early in life.
Quote examples
Ferdinand de Saussure
Swiss Educator
It is useful to the historian, among others, to be able to see the commonest forms of different phenomena, whether phonetic, morphological or other, and how language lives, carries on and changes over time.
Quote examples
Gad Saad
Canadian Scientist
Animals use a broad range of strategies to advertise themselves in the mating market. In some instances, visual cues highlight a morphological feature - for example, the peacock's tail.
Quote examples
J. Philippe Rushton
Canadian Psychologist
Each race (or variety) is characterized by a more or less distinct combination of inherited morphological, behavioral, physiological traits.
