70 years ago the average German soldier height was 5’7 (170cm)
The average soviet soldier was 5’6 (168cm)
Average British man over 100 years ago was 5’6
1627903319289


Yet, over the last century, the average height of many counties increased exponentially. Why is this?

Food became too easy to get is one plausible explanation.

Otherwise, genetics trump nutrition because you still see shorter people today.
Sure but those people would be even shorter back then

We are reaching the peak of our genetic potential due to nobody being malnourished. After everyone having enough calories and nutrients, height is one of the most predictable traits by genetics.
"A polygenic trait is a characteristic, sometimes we call them phenotypes, that are affected by many, many different genes. A classic example of this would be height. Height in humans is very strongly genetically controlled, but there are many, many different genes that control height."
