Human Size Consistency Baffles Scientists | Wired Science | Wired.com: "Crunch the numbers on the animal kingdom%u2019s sizes and shapes, and humans differ from each other far less than most species. The reason why is a mystery.



%u201CWe don%u2019t have an answer. We have this interesting observation, but the explanation is an open hypothesis,%u201D said evolutionary biologist Andrew Hendry of McGill University.

Hendry and Queens University biologist Ann McKellar combed through the scientific literature on body size and length in more than 200 species, from insects to fish to birds and, of course, humans."
