    Abstract

    The issue of human variation has recently become of great interest in medical research and practice, but numerous disagreements and misunderstandings surround this complex subject. It might be argued that these negative aspects could be reduced significantly if elements of human variation were taught to medical students. Even small changes in the curriculum, if efficiently implemented, could produce considerable gains.
