Faktor [[gen]] dan [[lingkungan]] memengaruhi variasi biologis manusia dalam karakteristik tampilan, fisiologi, kerentanan terhadap penyakit, kemampuan mental, ukuran tubuh, dan rentang hidup. Meskipun manusia bervariasi dalam banyak sifat (seperti pembawaan genetik dan ciri-ciri fisik), setiap dua orang manusia setidaknya 99% mirip secara genetik. Manusia secara [[Dimorfisme seksual|seksual bersifat dimorfik]]: secara umum, laki-laki memiliki tubuh yang lebih kuat dan perempuan memiliki persentase [[lemak tubuh]] yang lebih tinggi. Pada masa [[pubertas]], manusia mengembangkan [[Ciri kelamin sekunder|karakteristik seks sekunder]]. Wanita dapat [[Kehamilan|hamil]], biasanya antara masa pubertas, sekitar 12 tahun, hingga masa [[menopause]], sekitar usia 50 [[tahun]].
