– Why did people get taller over time? I was listening to a podcast today and they said the average height for a man at the time they were talking about was 5ft
In: 5
Better food, more food, more food security, better medicine, better hygiene, fewer diseases made modern people taller than they used to be. Although I find it unlikely for average adult male height in Europe to have been 5 ft at any point in time. South or South-East Asia, possibly.
