Re: Is evolution making people taller... or shorter?

It varies. Neanderthals were 6'+. People in the Middle Ages were about 5'9, and then during the industrial revolution, went down to about 5'5. Now we're back at 5'9. Probably has more to do with environment than anything else.

Re: Are Americans more heightist since most have German ancestry? Thread Starter

2/3 of Americans are of German, Dutch or Scandinavian ancestry? Is this way America is so obsessed with height, because they bought their culture from there to here?

Re: Less than 5% of Americans are 6'2 or taller. 6' is NOT average. Thread Starter

This is from 2008, so it's not up to date current, but the point still stands. I don't know how people conflate 6' with average. On just about every website, people swear being under 6' isn't normal and makes you some kind of pariah. 60% of men are under 5'10 which means that average height is beneath that - 5'9

Re: Shortest guy is the first man eliminated on the Bachelorette TV Show Thread Starter

5'9" Jamey from Santa Monica, doesn't even make it past the first elimination round. This is supposedly the most diverse set of contestants ever on that TV show. Just about every race is represented. Guess which area isn't diverse on that show?
