The works of Y.Y. Roginsky on variability, correlation and integrity were of great importance for the development of physiological, ecological, anthropology. An approach to the study of variability and the coefficient of variation as an extremely informative index is the main content of articles of Y.Y. Roginsky, published in 1940–1960 years. Working on the problem of variability of quantitative characters, Y.Y. Roginsky in parallel worked on the correlation. In the article «Patterns of relationships between characters in anthropology» [Roginsky, 1962] he comprehensively considers the problem of correlation: from the historical, theoretical and methodological aspects. The last section of the article is directly related to the methodological foundations of physiological anthropology. In all his works Y.Y. Roginsky pays attention to the importance of system and holistic approaches. Attaching great importance to the application of mathematical statistics, the author has consistently pointes out to scientists for the need of a «qualitative analysis of the biological nature of phenomena» [Roginsky, 1954, p. 77].
