I mean, the head has a ver similar length across humans, maybe also the neck (I know the neck with has significant variability), so which part of the body concentrates the most difference? Is it the torso or the legs, and if the legs, is it the femur o below the knees?

The legs, specifically the femur and tibia(thigh & shin bones). Studies show leg length in relation to overall height is greatly different between short and tall people,this shows tall people have proportionally longer legs.
