TLDR: Height is all first determined by how tall you were as a newborn, then how much shit like growth hormone you had while your growth plates were open, and finally whenever age your hormones force your growth plates to fuse and cuck you. This is supported by symptoms of medical disorders like precocious puberty, genetic mutations like aromatase deficiency and cases of castrated men. The reason why most people are as tall as their father is because they usually are the same height as a newborn and start and end puberty at the same ages therefore the same amount of time to grow which is actually all genetic, but things like the same environmental factors that may cause precocious or late puberty or genetic mutations that cause aromatase deficiences can alter the result of such genetics. The strictness of "genetic potential" is evidently over-exaggerated
There are two chapters
Chapter 1: Height potential theory
Sure, many kids are just born taller than others and just have a higher genetic expectation, but really your "expected" adult height has a lot to do with simply a trend of when hormones decided to shut your growth plates down and how many growth factors you had in your body when your growth plates were open.
Precocious puberty is literally a medical condition btw look it up
This is why short stature is a symptom of precocious puberty which causes premature growth plate fusion. Even with the "genetic potential" to be a taller person, those with precocious puberty never make it to that "genetic potential". Your "genetic potential" can't just make you grow 30 inches in a month before your growth plates prematurely fuse at 12 because your dad decided to make you take dbol in elementary school.
While hormones do accelerate growth rate, it is by a common amount, so almost everyone grows the same amount of inches in puberty and if you have average hormone levels in puberty, you would grow at the average speed of someone in puberty. Every year leading up to puberty, average boy grows like 2 inches per year
This is how it would be for someone with precocious puberty vs normal age at puberty onset for example
Precocious:
Age 7: 4'2"
Age 8: 4'4" (age puberty begins, growth rate slightly increases)
Age 9: 4'7" (experiences tanner stage 3 peak growth spurt)
Age 10: 5'0" (growth slows down due to tanner 4)
Age 11: 5'3"
Age 12: 5'3"
Age 35: 5'3"
Normal:
Age 7: 4'2"
Age 8: 4'4"
Age 9: 4'6"
Age 10: 4'8"
Age 11: 4'10"
Age 12: 5'0" (puberty begins)
Age 13: 5'3" (peak spurt in tanner 3)
Age 14: 5'8" (growth slows via tanner 4)
Age 15: 5'11"
Wow. Look? He experienced his growth spurt prematurely early, but he didn't magically grow 8 extra inches during his early puberty to make up for the inches he lost leading up to his growth spurt? Well of course obviously. This is literally seen in patients of the literal medical condition precocious puberty. You wouldn't have any higher androgen profile or growth factor levels in a precocious puberty than if you had it later so you wouldn't just grow at a fast rate to make up for the inches you were supposed to get leading up to puberty
The opposite is seen in those with aromatase deficincies or castrated males. Both cases have very low estrogen levels so growth plate fusion is delayed therefore they grow unusually tall
Meanwhile some unfunny moron will reply to this thread "cope low iq" when I'm not even trying to make a cope. I'm just sharing a theory that's clearly most likely correct which essentially states that "Height is all first determined by how tall you were as a newborn, then how much shit like growth hormone you had while your growth plates were open, and finally whenever age your hormones force your growth plates to fuse and cuck you. This is supported by symptoms of medical disorders like precocious puberty, genetic mutations like aromatase deficiency and cases of castrated men.

The strictness of "genetic potential" is evidently over-exaggerated"
Chapter 2: Proportion theory
I didn't even read any studies to support any of the schizo mumbling I'm going to say, which is the same for the previous chapter. It's all merely founded on my background knowledge
Since it is agreed that torso at least typically fuses last, wouldn't odd proportions be indicitave of if hormones deciding to cuck you unusually early, when comparing oneself to everyone else of your their and race or ethnicity? This would make sense considering the following,
1) Women have longer leg to torso proportions than men and experience rapid growth plate senescence early due to earlier and more exposure to a ton of estrogen
2) Myself with freakishly longer legs compared to my torso. Starting puberty at an average age and ending height growth at late 14
3) The only people I've seen with freakish proportions that may be similar to mine were a few women
