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

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
Nobody:
Super tall guys: I’m actually the short one in my family…
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.

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 🙏
my dad is 5’10 and my mom is 5’4 but I’m 5’5 at 16 1/2. I hope i’m also a late bloomer

True, i was about to comment that
He told us something we knew without reading a reasearch paper.
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.
From the bottom of my heart , thank you . Being 5'4 at 15 is tough , especially when all your friends are 6'0.

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.
I swear being tall has such an advantage in our modern day, if you are 6ft-6'5ft you are blessed.

I've observed that height is not only about genetics , it's about your environment,diet and your lifestyle

You grew because you must be eating a lot of protein through meat, fish etc.

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.

Your sensitivity to growth hormone, your production of growth hormone which can be affected notably by lifestyle as well as estrogen levels and sensitivity which close growth plates earlier in women at about 14-16 while men don’t stop growing till about 18-20, depending on many factors.
for women i've heard that it was at 18 that they reach their adult height and 20 for men so wich one is true
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.

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.

@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.
No man, height is almost entirely predetermined by genetics. You were meant to be the height you are congenitally
POV: youre a a short teen who wants to grow taller
Yes
Dutch people be like...
*Hold my beer*
They’re not the tallest people in the world and their average is 5’11” for men 5’6” for women
Valhal but they are ? They are on average both men and women the tallest people on earth, glad to be dutch btw..... where are you from?

@@garlic4535 I believe you, I was also 6'1 when I was 13 so I know the feeling ^^
@@tokz7454 You make it sound like being tall is a bad thing.
pretty much everyone in my family hit their peak height in 8th-9th grade including myself, who is 6’6, and i’m average in my family. it’s so strange how we all hit peak height so young and just stopped growing
6'6 wow bro at 15 years old? Where are you from?
people are different buddy, i was among the shortest in middle school and then in mid high school i grew from 5ft9 to 6ft3
Very Interesting. I am 7'5 and I'm only in 3rd grade. My parents are fairly short with my dad's height being 5'1 1/2 and my mom 2'6. I guess I have a very balanced diet.
Im 5'8", wished i was taller for most of my life until i not just realized but internelized how incredibly lucky I am to be born in this century, in the country i was born, in a middle class upbringing with all my limbs and healthy organs. It's kind of pathetic to have such luck and still wish for more.

You are welcome.
Thanks
Thanks dude, never thought he would shut up
Not many people is come just to get that answer. We come to learn about static and what kind of testing and research is done. Smart people wanna know how people do thing and they might even able to find a missing spot of the research
THANK YOU
Thank you so much! I hate when people talk a lot of bullshit before answering the question in the title
There's nothing wrong with being 5'1" as a girl. It's brains that count.
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.

Someone would have done it
When you're a kid you wanna be tall (out of fear basically - for me at least). When you're fully grown you eventually accept it and become accustomed to your height.
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 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'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.
"Is Height Genetic"
Well yes,
and no,
But also yes,
But not really,
Kinda,
Maybe?
We don't know lul just find out by growing up.

By 14 I'm 5"10, and 17 I'm 6"1,5 wish to go up to 6"3 but I think my height has stopped growing rn. I felt rlly sad but as long as I don't have a height complex, I'll be happy as ever

@@klaudiushaw1781 Key word "Potential"
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'.
If I have a son, I'm feeding that dude protein shakes on the daily lol
dude protein shakes contain soy which stunt growth thats why most body builders are super short,
feet em lots of fish
Very bad idea my son must by shorter them me or u will never see ur car again cuz when u are 5.8 and ur son is 6.6 when he asks for the car keys U GIVE HIM THE CAR KEYS so keep the short stay in control
In depth Tutorials you will be such a good dad😂
@@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
