摘要：Human beings have been always obsessed by their image, perhaps because we are the species with biggest phenotypic variation on the planet. Why are we phenotypically so diverse? This work summarizes the evolution of different approaches used to address this question and suggests a hypothesis for its study, all linked to the work of the artist Armando Mariño (Santiago de Cuba, 1968). Mariño’s works are open to different interpretations and like a critical exaltation of the image address some of the topics of this discussion. The obsession for the image still captivates humans and some of the inventions such as human “races” and “types” complicate the analysis, but molecular biology offers the tools necessary to understand phenotypic variation and other complex traits in humans
