My parents are the same height as yours and I'm a manlet. Thanks life for fucking me up.My mum and dad are both 5'7. I was talking about the alcohol/weed etc satirically to prove that correlation!=causation. Truth is, nobody knows what height anyone was "destined to be". Everyone just has all these different guesses backed up by nothing. We don't even know what genes are involved in final adult height, or if there's any gene expression related to final height, or anything. We don't know anything. Literally. People are still trying to find out what genetic factors determine height and nobody has even scratched the surface. The main assumption is that expression from a gene called "High-mobility group AT-hook 2" during the early stages of childhood development is at least one of the genetic determinants for human height, but even that is pretty baseless. But it makes more sense. I was relatively taller than my peers in early childhood (like age 5, way before puberty), and am relatively taller than people now. Really nobody knows, and I'm sure there's armies of scientists carrying out tests and researching all day everyday to find some sort of answer. But so far, nobody knows anything. There's nothing concrete.
