Is it true that human phenotypic variation is driven by genetic diversity and environmental factors?

Yes. Human phenotypic variation is driven by genetic diversity and environmental factors, supported by evidence demonstrating the joint influence of genetics and gene-environment interactions on complex traits.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked 5 Aug 2026

The analysis

The claim posits that human phenotypic variation is driven by genetic diversity and environmental factors. Papers [0], [1], and [3] explicitly support this by discussing gene-environment interactions, polygenic inheritance, and environmental influences on traits. No papers contradict this premise.
