I have a family with a large human height. How about you?
My family also is tall from the distance from the bottom of our feet to the top of our head.
wow! Interesting, I wonder how height is past down through genetics?
Height comes from the genetic profile in men called Y haplotype I-M170.
Oh interesting! So i guess height is past down in families through the male. Human height is also pretty interesting in biblical times.
They say when genetic profiles increases in the population the result is the average male height also increases.
oh! I've never thought of that! So in theory one could breed a very tall population! Do you know who the tallest person in modern times is?
I think it may be Bob Dylan, the singer-songwriter and author.
Interesting! I didn't know he was tall. I always think of former NBA player Yao Ming.
Yao Ming
Yao Ming (; born September 12, 1980) is a Chinese basketball executive and retired professional basketball player who played for the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) and the Houston Rockets of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was selected to start for the Western Conference in the NBA All-Star Game eight times, and was named to the All-NBA Team five times. At the time of his final season, he was the tallest active player in the NBA, at .
Human height
Human height or stature is the distance from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head in a human body, standing erect. It is measured using a stadiometer, usually in centimetres when using the metric system, or feet and inches when using the imperial system.
A particular genetic profile in men called Y haplotype I-M170 is correlated with height. Ecological data shows that as the frequency of this genetic profile increases in the population, the average male height in a country also increases.
