The average height of Dutch men is1.83m, and that of women is1.70m. A study published in the Journal of the Royal Society found that tall Dutch men have more children on average than short men.

Gert Steph, a behavioral biologist at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, led the study, which included parents over 45 who were born in the Netherlands. A sample of 42,665,438+06 people shows that tall men are more likely to pass on the genes that make them grow taller, and they contribute more "tall" genes to the gene pool, so these genes are naturally selected and preserved.

Of course, not all Dutch people are tall. Among them, both parents have 35% genetic genes, 30% acquired factors, and the most important thing in the acquired 30% is diet.
