Is it possible to be hella short with Nordic dna?

[mltn2mtn]

I’m fully European. My dad’s side is German and Lithuanian, and my great-grandpa was 6'2, htn. My dad is 6'1.5.
My mom’s side is slightly shorter, with my mom being 5'0.5, but her parents are 5'10 and 5'5.

I’m 17 and only a 5”7 hltn, which is lowkey really shit compared to my grandparents and etc. I’m wondering if I could still have a late growth spurt or if I’m basically done growing. I also think I resemble a Hallstatt pheno look, just not the height.

(Bone age 16.7)

Yes...? What kind of a question is this.

 

[ChudLarper_67]

[mltn2mtn]

Yes...? What kind of a question is this.

it just doesn’t make sense tho, like I have hella ancestors that are 6”0+ but I don’t even reach average male height. My shits just like a genetic anomaly genuinely .

No, it is not and anomaly, and it makes perfect sense. Short people will exist no matter what DNA they have.

ancestors dont matter, parents matter

 

[mltn2mtn]

Yeah idk what happened to my mom’s height. Both my grandmas are 5”5 and grandpas r 6”1 and 5”10.

 

[mltn2mtn]

Dads 6”1.5 moms 5”0.5 but my moms sister is 5”6

 

[trashbinxoxo]

Yes
It's what happens when you get race mixed
Or a deformity (also from race mixing)

 

[mltn2mtn]

No, it is not and anomaly, and it makes perfect sense. Short people will exist no matter what DNA they have.

Mid parental height suggests I should be 5”9.5 tho and I’m no where near that

My moms British isles + norweigen bruh I’m 100% white dirty blonde blue eyes

Your parents are lying. You are 0.5 % African and they're hiding it from you

 

[ChudLarper_67]

mom cooks you

Lol this is not how genes work at all

 

[mltn2mtn]

Ironically my mom is actually 1% northern African according to ancestry dna, but I don’t look African at all she had relatives that participated in apartheid ig

 

[mltn2mtn]

mom cooks you

Her parents r 5”10 and 5”5 tho

 

[ChudLarper_67]

Her parents r 5”10 and 5”5 tho

yeah “her”, girls are biologically shorter bhai

 

[Jason Voorhees]

Yes height is more tied to nutrition and environment than race or phenotype.

 

[mltn2mtn]

yeah “her”, girls are biologically shorter bhai

Her mom is 5”5 tho

 

[ChudLarper_67]

Her mom is 5”5 tho

yeah we get most of our genes from our mothers yk

 

[mltn2mtn]

yeah we get most of our genes from our mothers yk

It depends I mean ik a kid with the same exact parental
height as me and he’s 5”10.

 

[Jason Voorhees]

If it helps. I did grow after 18 but very little and I was clearly a late bloomer.

shitty but could be a lot worse

5’7 is the average height in mexico and where i live in the united states it’s 50% hispanic so i blend it when i wear height increasing shoes like timberlands

it does suck though i have had girls like my face but not interested because of my height ive never had a official girlfriend and im approaching 16 in 2 months but im not khhv and have been together i guess with girls? they just didn’t want to commit because obviously im ugly
