Younger generations are getting shorter

[Deleted member 8608]

Does someone noticed that most 16 to 17 year olds now are average shorter than people 18 to 22?

Better nutrition, healthcare etc.


Even obese kids are more likely to be taller than skinny ones

mmmm no, i read once a theory called return to the mean, and it was about how height and other physical traits always return to the average, for example, chad dads doesn't mean chad childrem, and tall parents doesn't mean taller kids, for example my dad is 6ft and my mum 5'6 and I'm 5'8. And other parents are 5'5 both and her kids are 6'3.

Maybe because you're not done growing at 16-17

Check out pottengers cats study. There's a short summary video on youtube

Basically some guy fed cats cooked meat and cooked dairy (which are nutritionally deficient) and observed that after a couple generations the cats would not look homogenous anymore. Some were large, some were small, the males looked for feminine, the females more masculine

Kinda what we are observing with humans right now cos of shit food
