I'm the shortest person in my family. I'm 5'2".
That makes two of us. The distance from the bottom of my feet to the top of my head is 5'4"!
My parents are both 5'4" but my siblings are all taller than them.
Hm genetic background can sometimes be funk which might account for that difference.
What else besides genetics influences height?
Poverty or warfare, environmental factors like chronic malnutrition during childhood can negatively impact height.
Interesting. Who's the tallest person who has ever lived?
John William Rogan, an American man, was the tallest person ever recorded until passed by Robert Wadlow! He was nearly 9 feet!
Wow that's crazy. Are there any complications when you're that tall?
Probably, aside from always being the center of attention, which is bad if you're like me and don't like attention!
