Having studied this subject and seen various studies and stats. What I have noticed that it does not all add up. 

For instance Indians are ranked as a short nation but not all Indians are short. 

Also many usually think blacks are are the tallest when this is far from the truth. Nigeria is actually one of the shortest nations on earth aswell as many other african nations. 

Many in the uk have a misconception of blacks and their height. Most african nations are actually short. Apart from uniqely carribean blacks and blacks in the usa, uk canada. This is due to the following. All of these peolle are off spring of the slaves who were brought over from africa. All were off spring of the tallest and strongest slaves.

These slaves where hand selected from africa and were chosen based on their height and strength. Ie taller and the strongest slaves were mostly desired as they could carry out long manual labour. 

So what you have in the carribean and usa, uk canada, is a unique phenomena. Of tall blacks who thus created taller kids.

Otherwise most black people on earth are average or below average height. 

Go to places such as nigeria, south africa, kenya, uganda and most are short.

This is something I like to call the Dulai effect,

where you only see tall Indians around, because the short ones, stay indoors, and don't venture out that much.

Dynamicism of the data. is the data .

So no one cares about height in the asian community?

What I have noticed is us brownies are actually getting taller and bigger these days. Could it be due to better diets and more excercise? 

this is by far the least accurate statement in the thread

Just picking up again where I left in 2016 I've had a chance to re-visit and re-read the findings and a few more really interesting things jumped out at me and - not being clinically trained or possessing any medical knowledge at all - it would be really interesting to get an insight from any of you that do have medical knowledge. The fact that Sikh children were taller than all the others and their mothers had the greatest variety of nutrients during pregnancy is easy to understand as a layman but do these other findings actually mean anything fairly substantive ? :

Sikh babies had the greatest mid arm circumference

Sikh mothers had greater skinfold thickness than the others
