The suggestion that humans have become more homogeneous is difficult to grasp on the basis that one person was the originator of humans. If anything, one would expect humans to be changing remarkably over the centuries or the millennia or (if you believe in the theory) millions of years. For most people seem very much the same and the range of diversity is not that extensive, when it comes to having two legs two arms, a head and internal bodily organs, etc. Why even intellectual capacity is demonstrably comparatively close—yes it is a tragedy that galahs delight in an ignorance quotient. When it comes to shapes, there are ectomorphs, mesomorphs and endomorphs with many variations in between.
In the 1940s, American psychologist William Herbert Sheldon formulated the theory of constitutional psychology. One of the proposals in this theory is that there are three basic elements, or somatotypes, that contribute to your body type.
Here are three drawings depicting an ectomorph a mesomorph and an endomorph taken from Somatotype and constitutional psychology - Wikipedia
Below are also three bodies: an ectomorph body, a mesomorph body and an endomorph body. The difference is that each has been individually transformed into muscled bodies rather than ones that are naturally skinny, naturally muscular and naturally fat.

According to the Guinness World Records:
The tallest man in medical history for whom there is irrefutable evidence is Robert Pershing Wadlow (USA) (born 6:30 a.m. at Alton, Illinois, USA on 22 February 1918), who when last measured on 27 June 1940, was found to be 2.72 m (8 ft 11.1 in) tall.
The tallest living man and the shortest living man in November 2014 were Sultan Kosen and Chandra Dangi.
Chandra Bahadur Dangi, at 21½ inches the shortest adult ever verified by Guinness World Records, posed at London with the world's tallest man, Sultan Kosen, who stands 8 feet 3 inches tall, Nov 14, 2014.[1]
According to the Bible, every person has come from one individual—even though a man and a woman are required for reproduction and to have a relationship designed to raise children, where the male represents the father figure and a female represents the mother figure—for Adam was formed first, then Eve (1 Timothy 2:13).
- The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all men life and breath and everything. And he made from one every nation of men to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their habitation, that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel after him and find him. Yet he is not far from each one of us. (Acts 17:24-27)
The fact that there are quite a variety of individuals that are all unique in their own way does not support the idea of macro-evolution nor that we are becoming more homogeneous, rather that the Creator has designed us for a purpose, for each one possesses the critical similarities that makes each individual physically recognizably human—although there might be valid arguments to the contrary when it comes to behavior (2 Peter 2:12).
