The genetic code is basically configuring a generic vertebrate body; the same sort of variation we see between vertebrate species we can also see as developmental variation in a species.
What this thread is talking about is things like extra fingers, missing or extra nerves and muscles, and varying structural differences.
I recently started learning a lot about the muscular and nervous system in the hip area. Even on Wikipedia you routinely read things like „this muscles is missing in x% of population”. It blew my mind that there is so much difference to our internal structure.
