I’m from the Netherlands and we Dutch are usually the tallest people on earth. Now the average Dutchman’s height is 1.85 meter (6’1"), and the average height of a Dutch woman is 1.76 eter (5’10") (in 2005).
In an article in a magazine which I read a few months ago, the writer stated that the general opinion that people become taller through the years is wrong.
Height, the writer said, mainly depens on good nutrition, a good healthcare, a quiet time (no wars, stuggle to survive) etc and the lack of severe diseases (like the plague etc). Genetics also played a role of course. We all know e.g. the pigmees in Africa who are extremely short people.
To get back to the Dutchman: his average height in the last 2500 years was between 1.68 meter (5’6") (in the 17th century: a golden age for Holland, but with many wars, the Plague etc.) and 1.85 meter (6’1") (now in 2005/2006).
