Because of your diet. Your skin can't take as much vitamin D. So the more food you eat with vitamin D the taller you become. As opposed to people who take in more vitamin D from the sun.
It's basically the result of having less sunlight hours and the heat of the sun in Northern countries is not as hot as those closer to the equator. That's why you're tall. Doesn't mean being short is a bad thing

If you would remove countries with a majority European population. In that each person has at least a 70% European ancestry. And if you removed these countries from the world average.
The average height for a man around the world would be roughly the same. Around 5'8 - 5'9.

Croats and Bosniaks are taller

Is it the same case for the Dinaric countries as well?
Jace Reyes
They only measured kids between 16-18 lol
Jose Sanders

I was not aware of them
Aiden Phillips
the date for serbia is completely wrong
Leo Hill
They even picked the tallest age range
Jordan Cox
also very easy to fake your height on your ID.
i went to the city hall to get a new ID and stood next to the measuring thing. it said 183, but the cute administration woman rounded it up to 185
Anthony Lee
In Germany they don't even measure, you can tell them whatever you want if it's not too off.

Diet doesn't change genes, Matthew. Besides most people here too severely lack in Vitamin D intake
Owen Sanders

>Diet doesn't change genes
Over a long enough time, yes it will (e.g. the various genes that code for alcohol dehydrogenase production).
Matthew Jenkins
This is probably the best map. All data is from wikipedia.
Matthew James
Shut the fuck up, its YOUR map that is fucking retarded and out of date. Face it, Krauts are really manlets.

his maps sucks because it lacks half the countries, though
Aaron Fisher
Dude is basically wearing high heels

Jonathan Ramirez
Germans are manlets, face the fact.
Jack Green
low testerone.
low testerone causes early puberty. making them look tall very early on. but they stay that height for the rest of their lives
Chase Rogers
Its the soy really.
Carter Robinson
I like that theory cause they look like massive skinny soyboy lanklets too
Colton Cooper
I call bullshit.
Albania being only that is impossible, and look at Macedonia lmao no way that taller than them. Also Romania. Bullshit map.
Jack Sanders
They all measured different age groups, some are self reported etc. these comparisons are very inaccurate
Julian James
your map is shopped broski
Jaxon Parker
>tfw 1.66
I'm the danger
[screaming in chihuahua]
Adam Rogers
I don't see Macedonia anywhere.
Also, it appears Kosovo has its height too, at least for the capital.
Lucas Robinson
I mean i'd actually kinda prefer if all males were like 160cm imho smaller people can be a lot more energetic and sturdy and so on, i mean just look at those Japs. Thought obviously i wouldn't want to take 20cm off of my current height any day unless everyone else did as well, i'm no wannabe manlet.
Camden Cox
yours is male + female on one map
Jaxson Cook
I'm pretty sure it was the at the time the map was made, could be that and angry greek removed it.

>A century ago, American men ranked as the third tallest in the world, standing at 171 centimeters (5 feet 7 inches). Now, they place as the 37th, with an average of 177 centimeters (5 feet 10 inches).
these funnies can not be fabricated
>While Americans didn't experience big gains in height, their body mass index "increased a great deal," the report found.

over a long enough time diets also change remarkably, so yes, a diet does have an indirect influence on which genes get passed on and which not - think: fertility issues due to malnutrition, infant mortality, warfare over scarce resources, and why not even selective pressure over quality of food eg. the women prefer men who bring them grapes in the winter or what not-, but user was absolutely right, a diet has no direct influence over genetic recombination and mutation eg. evolution
