Dimorphic, polymorphic, and continuously variable traits are distinguished as follows:

Dimorphism is the condition of those<em> species</em> of animals or plants that exhibit two anatomical aspects or two different forms.

When talking about polymorphisms in genetics, reference is made to the different variations that may exist on the DNA of the same gene.

Continuously variable traits are those that show a continuous distribution of phenotypes.

Therefore, we can conclude that dimorphism is a polymorphism with only two forms, the polymorphism is any stable change of the DNA fixed in the population and in continuously variable traits the phenotypes show a continuous series and cannot be easily grouped.

Alchen [17]

<span>The body proportions of neanderthals may have arisen as adaptations to a HARSH AND CONTINUOUSLY CHANGING environment. Neanderthals that have evolved through millions of years have developed skills and techniques in order for them to eat, live in good conditions, and protect themselves from dangers of the environment. As such, their physical bodies have also evolved through the activities that they do on a regular basis.</span>
