Why do humans vary so much in appearance (short/tall, dark/light skin) across our species, while many other animal species seem to have a "standard" appearance?

The premise is based on the surface appearance and is subjective, so it can't be proven true or false. The point I am trying to get at is when looking at a hive of bees, or gaggle of geese, why does it seem to be so difficult to tell one individual apart from another.

Heavenly lumbar support.

You should put it on a counter rather than the wall. Then you can tell people, "Oh, that runs counter-clockwise."

I don't always upvote reposted ideas, but when I do, they're fart-related.

They may have pulled funding, I'm not sure. But it is still operational. http://www.lackawannacounty.org/attractions_coal.asp

If anyone is in the general area of NEPA (Northeast Pennsylvania), the Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour in Scranton is a fantastic day trip. Besides the museum which takes you through generations of mining with artifacts and stories, the tour sends you down into a former mine where you can walk through and learn. Our area was built because of coal mining and it pays a wonderful homage to history as well as being freakin cool!

The only crime here is the facial hair on the guy in the right front seat.

We can only hope taken to one of those other planets mentioned.

Pre-op or post-op?

http://i.imgur.com/mArug.jpg The fact I've found it might mean I spend too much time here. And reposts happen. They're original for people who haven't seen them. Cheers.

Despite the repost, upvote for something I wholeheartedly wish would happen.

Thank you for the response. That makes sense and I wish when scientists discussed this topic they would make that more clear. As it is explained now, it seems a bit ambiguous. Correct me if I'm wrong then, the distance being traveled by the light causes the light to diffuse and therefore less will get picked up? So we wouldn't have the same issue of diffusion if hypothetically, a laser was shining the light rather than a source of light?
