This research analyzes anthropometric changes and adaptive features within different ecological
zones simultaneously. Significant differences were noted concerning body dimensions in polar,
desert, high-altitude, and tropical populations measured in terms of climate, local lifestyle,
altitude, and region. This was achieved through a combination of conducting field
measurements, statistical evaluations, and comparison studies. Trends were noted in body mass,
stature, and limb ratios dominated by ecological pressures which correspond with prevailing
body regional physiology. The results of this study provide further understanding on human
morphology ecology and evolution which are essential towards personal health, ergonomic
design, and anthropology.
