I’m tall. Most of the people in my family are tall. Does that mean my son will be tall? Turns out the inheritance of height is a lot more complicated than we thought. Scientists know that nature (genes) and nurture (environment) both play a role, but after more than a century of questions, we’re only just now starting to get some answers

I think height all depends on how tall you are.
Harvard just called, they asked how many scholarships you want.
Santiago Yeah - tell them I’ll take six, wait, no tell them I want half a dozen...yeh.

Just spend 7 minutes listening to someone formally saying, “I don’t know.”
he literally said it was a combination.
Mostly genetics around 86%genetics while a normal diet & sleep makes it closer to the real potential of ones height.

I was 5'3 at 15. I read somewhere that most guys only grow 2 inches after their 15th birthday, so I accepted my fate of being 5'5. Turns out I was a late bloomer and am now a little over 6'0 tall and am still growing even though I'm going to be turning 20 this year. Stay strong short guys, you might be one of the rare cases 🙏

did you do anything special which might have caused the sharp grow? Or did it just, happen?

I am actually the short one in my family most of my Male relatives including my father, grandfathers, and brothers are taller than I am. I stopped growing taller when I was 13 which might contribute to this difference(1-3 inches) the good thing is I don't actually want to get any taller.

Fascinating. Perhaps genetics determines how tall you can grow. Where environment decides if you reach your cap.
thats an interesting idea, but is there really a cap decided from birth or is the cap decided based on the environment as well?
@@jorbanana5412 I'd say the cap is only determined when it has been "reached," i.e. when your height is -on avarage- stopped growing. In other words, it's quite literally the peak of a situation, in which you don't know how much or when it will be prior to it. At least this is what I thought when I read the comment.
sounds anpeotic
I had a weird idea in my head when I was in school there was me and 2 other guys as the only 6ft guys in our year and our height would fluctuate as time went on, one guy would be tallest one year then another the next, I feel like tall people stimulate other growing tall people to grow taller.
No bro there is no how tall you can grow. You will determine it yourself

I'm an adult male and 5'6. However, I'm not unaffected by my short stature. Yes, gaining a few extra inches would be cool but on the contrary I can easily snuggle into tight spaces, shop into teen's sections, have ample flight legroom and so on. Yes, I've been bullied for my height but I just realized that there are somethings that we can't change and some people will always point it out, no matter how obvious it is. So short guys out there, don't be afraid, work hard and attain success so that people no more lookout for your height.

An even more interesting question imo, is how and why has it become an appealing characteristic to be tall, and simultaneously unappealing to be short(?). I think it's definitely worth a video. Anyone agree?
The short answer is because taller men are sexually more attractive to women.
Completely agree! I always wondered is tall associated with being strong? Cause that’s definitely not always true. Is tall associated with intelligence? Also not true lol so why does being tall make women assume good genetics when they could be weak, unathletic and dumb? Lol
@@dylanburkardt1113 it turns them on, in a liberally sexual society catered towards the sexual needs of women (ease of access, social media, make up, welfare, social and financial state support), the bias towards selective breeding based on sexual characteristics is maximized. It is essentially voluntary practice of eugenics dubbed as "love, spark, connection, vibe" etc
@@dylanburkardt1113 First and foremost: it is what what it is. If that's what they prefer then so be it. Secondly: you act as tho the only trait women select for is height; as if simply being over 6 feet instantly makes women flock to you. A person can be simultaneously smart, strong, tall, confident and kind. This isn't an rpg where you have to min/max
Mostly because it looks cool, it seems to be the default way of thinking that taller is better than being short.

It just makes me look like a kid wherever i go.
I get blocked all the time when playing basketball.
Walking with my friends feels like walking with my older brother.
I might even get looked down when i study aboard.
But, looking at some of the comments still gives me hope lol
You really never know. How tall are your parents? Did you have any growth spurts when you were younger? Men finish growing a bit after women do most of the time, so you still have plenty of time at 17
Did you mean "abroad"?
Damm I'm 5'2 at 14 and I'm a lot happier now.
Dude, wait for your fullest potential. You're still 17, growth plates usually stops at 18-20, depending in your genetics. Just eat healthy and exercise in your growth remaining years.
so try a real sport like limbo where you will have the edges

I've always thought of genes as a min/max parameter and nurture to be the determining factor for the end result. Your genes have a set path of growth no matter your lifestyle but poor care makes your body underdevelop or underperform. You might be genetically predisposed to easily bulk up and become fit but poor habits and diet will only ensure it won't happen. Can't grow something without the proper nutrition and care. That's why people tend to have stunted growth. Injuries also can affect your growth for better and worse, like those bone extension surgeries where they cut then space and brace it to force your bones to heal that way. Or it can permanently disfigure.
I didn't eat my veggies or fruit and I ended up at 6'5". Love my height but wouldn't want anymore. Door frames are close enough, I do hit my head on fans and lighting, there are cars I wanted but can't comfortably fit in, and I've been too tall to ride a roller-coaster.
You dont need veggies and fruit to become tall. Just lots of animal protein.

Yeah late puberty will increase your height dramatically, along side being well fed, unhealthy or not you're still providing your body enough calories.
You grew because you must be eating a lot of protein through meat, fish etc.

How tall were you when you were 15?
@Introvertical873 roughly the same maybe not entirely sure
@SpeedBull545 I am currently 5,8, and I am about to turn 16 in a month. How tall could I possibly be?.
@Introvertical873 with proper exercise and diet you could be taller than 6'2. My biggest mistake as far as diet goes is I used to eat a lot of junk food and increased intake of carbs. Avoid Alcohol at all costs l, how tempting it might be. That is a huge contributor towards me putting up a lot of belly fat. Continue playing sports.

I've also noticed, at least in my family and and in some other families that the younger brother in the family tends to be taller than the rest of the siblings/families. is that a coincidence or is there something to it?
I've noticed that same trend!
Same case here, I’m the oldest and the shortest, even a bit shorter than my mom. My youngest brother is the tallest, I think he is taller than my parents.
Well, when I was born, I was the shortest too and my younger brother was the tallest. Maybe it has something to do with the diet during pregnancy….
Your mum is short. Your brother just took your dad's height, you did an average of both. Nothing strange.
It is proven, through studies such as one done by NCBI, that maternal height (height from the mother) influences the height of a child at birth, stunting at 2 years of age and stunting at adult height. The reason for the initial influence at birth is due to maternal physical constraints on offspring growth in utero. This is because even with genetics aside (which plays a large part), shorter women have reduced protein and energy stores, smaller reproductive organ sizes and a more limited room for fetal development - influencing fetal growth via the placenta and infant growth through beast milk quantity. So straight out of the gate, birth from a short mother causes the odds to shift closer to the favor of shortness in children and places a lower glass ceiling on possibilities of escaping this at a later stage (after 2+ years) and after the child reaches adulthood (18 years).
Dad 5'3", mom 5'0", me 5'-11". Perhaps a more protein rich diet.

idk bruh so many people in the comments here seem insecure about their height while I’m just here chilling at 5’7, not tall, not too short(pretty short though), but honestly I’m fine with my height, even if I stay this height for the rest of my life, I’d be perfectly ok with that, height usually isn’t going to cause you as much mental strife as you make it seem, only causing you stress if you give it so much attention, but honestly, the height you’re at right now is fine, so I don’t think you should worry about that and maybe worry about taxes or something idk.
TL;DR: I think you should be accepting of your height, if you aren’t and are worried you might be stuck at your current height, then that’s ok too, just don’t stress over it so much because, to put it bluntly, you shouldn’t stress over things you can control.

I‘m 19 and my height is around 6‘6-6‘7. Tho my parents are not „very tall“. My Mom‘s 5‘8 and my Dad is around 6‘0-6‘1. I think the milkman’s height is 6‘8. Jokes aside. Untill i was 10, my mom would always put me to sleep at 8:00 pm. And untill i was 14, i always went to sleep at around 10 pm. So that i always had a 9 hour sleep. Furthermore, she always took care of my nutrition. Untill this day she only buys organic products. And she often switched red meat with fish and so on. I do really think if you were lucky like me with this amount of sleep and good nutrition, you could boost your height by some inches if you start doing this at a young age. Bdw my brother is 17 and around 6‘5 so i really think your lifestyle is fundamental when it comes down to height… Cheers!

Very true that mostly siblings are similar height, but often, parents are also similar heights. Let’s take the first 3 in line in the British royal family as well as spouses. William, Prince of Wales, is 6 foot 3 and wife Catherine is 5 foot 9. Their 9 year old son, second in line, is currently around 5 foot 3. Very tall for a 9 year old. And little sister Charlotte, 7 years old, is around 4 foot 9 - 11, which is also very tall for age. Both parents are tall. And the Duke of Sussex, William’s brother is 6 feet tall as well. And the king is 5 foot 10, and so is the late Princess Diana. But then, the late Queen was 5 foot 3. So, sometimes, it’s passed down through parents, others, not.

I`ve started utilizing this method *4GrowTaller. Com* 3 months ago. My height is actually 5’8 and now it attained 5’9. Then I stooped, but now I am going to give this another go.... hopefully I will get 5`11, you need to look and discover it..
2:36 thank goodness that’s changed (mostly, some people still think I’m very dumb because I’m short) I can still assert dominance over my childhood friend who was consistently more than 6 inches taller than me yet also younger than me.
My height and my biological age, used to be great till class 5th, where I had friends to play outside with, and being active in sports. But then after 5th grade, I switched homes. There I had no friends to go out and play with, but I still was in sports in my school. But sports wasnt played everyday, and only for 1 hr per period, we had 2 periods in a week. So after a while when I reached 7th class. I could see the differences in myself and my friends in school. They still continued to grow, didnt have "puberty acne". But for me I didnt grow as fast as they were growing, and I started to have puberty acne already, their meat intake was also better than me, because my mom wouldnt allow us to bring meat to the house. So yeah, I think height does depends on how fast you age, and your protein intake, and your physical activity.

6'3 is the shortest woah.
Thank you for ruining all the “ohh your tall” talks 😭
"Poor diets lead to shorter children" is what I've heard from time to time, I lived on noodles and bread and the occasional frozen pizza all my life. I still ended up as a 6 foot tall woman. I'm convinced junk makes you taller.
How tall were your folks?
Yes well if you ate healthier you could have been 6'4''

My family isn't tall at all lol, just me.
I am 16 (17 soon) so I have quite a bit of potential.
@@electroshot8872 I'm convinced that is just genetical oddity (it happens from time to time). I'm 155 cm tall, quite short while my father is 170 cm tall. But I do look like the reincarnated version of my late paternal great-grandmother when she was 18. There is a photo of her in her wed dress and Imao it's copy paste, one of her children (my aunt-grandmother) is often mesmerized and in daze when I visit. She can barely believe it (she is the oldest so she remembers her mom to be younger than her siblings). Anyway what I meant is u can look very similar and have a similar height to someone some generations away.
@@sarahhavillamelooliveira5825 yeah I believe that's right, I haven't thought about that before now tbh. But I think that because of improved health and nutrition, we've managed to grow taller as a result. Or at least that's what I can say for myself (as a boy).
I swear being tall has such an advantage in our modern day, if you are 6ft-6'5ft you are blessed.
Not really, I've got brain damage from hitting my head on the door frame.
I always thought I would be 170 or more because my height was normal in all my childhood years but after years of depression and malnutrition I'm 152 I don't know if I'm going to grow taller or not I'm 14 and I don't know if my height is due to a bad lifestyle or genetics It hurts so bad, I feel like I hurt myself, especially because I'm so beautifulI hope you take care of yourself so you don't regret later
if youre 14 your growth spurt has possibly not even come yet give it a few more years

I always pictured him as medium height, like 5'8" to 5'10". Definitly didn't think he'd be taller then my 6' 190lb ass. I guess now i have to look up to him in more ways then one.
Summary:
Height depends both on your environment and diet(nature) and on your genetics as well (nuture) but we can’t really conclude that genes 100% control height since not all genes in our body are discovered and for now scientists have concluded that 86% of genes contribute to height variation but we’ve only discovered 27% of those genes.
Conclusion: height depends on both your environment and genetics and not just genetics overall.
I remember when I was a freshman in high school, 5'3". A year and a half later I was 5'11" and by the time I was a senior I was 6'1" and btw I didn't have a great diet growing up so I could've been taller if anything.

@@NeostormXLMAX that's bs. Most bodybuilders start late teens. The reason they are short is all about illusion. Same muscle mass looks bigger on a shorter frame than a tall one. Has nothing to do with protein/soy/dairy intake
@@NeostormXLMAX or maybe because they are already short they work out to compensate. Most kids dont serious body build (which doesnt stunt growth btw) until they are older

One thing which i have noticed is that a lot of times when the father and mother are close in height , the child who is a male grows taller than his father. Sometimes the child who is a male grows just as tall as his dad. If both mom and dad are very tall and are also close in height then most likely the child will be very tall. One of my cousins is 6'3" and his dad is 5'9" (just as tall as me) and his mother is like 5'5" - 5'6". Even though parents are average height, he grew up to be 6'3".

Do you eat any particular food that helps with growth?
I'm Australian and I was an adhd child so my parents gave up on forcing vegetables down my throat pretty quickly as I would flip my lid. So pretty much a nutritious diet of vegemite on toast 4 pieces for breakfast and a frozen microwave meat pie or 2 for lunch and dinner smothered in tomato sauce. So pretty much my diet was awful and had no nutritious value but by 10 years old I was eating evrything i could get my hands on pretty much eating like 5000 calories per day to accommodate the growth I was going to acquire. Pretty much I think it was genetic I have a long line of people in my family ranging from 6'2 to 7'.

I'm almost 5'11 and my mom is only 5'5 and my Dad is about 5'11. I'm a lot taller than my sister too. I think that a lot of my height came from my diet instead of genetics. I've always been a meat & potatoes type person, preferring savory food over sweet. I think he's onto something when he says the higher protein makes people taller. I drank a lot of milk and ate a lot of eggs, steak and chicken growing up. I'm sure that helped with my height.
Your height is purely genetic bro, your mother and your father are practically height equivalents, with your mother being an inch shorter (she would be 5'10 as a man).
So do the average, 5'10 your mother, 5'11 your father, 5'10 and 1/2. You are basically exactly your target height.
Well, i'm smaller than my younger sister. It looks like that height depends on nutrition, ambient, life style and a genetic (but research shows people now is taller than 50 o 100 years ago)
