Hi Marius,<br>
It doesn't seem to be so that average height is a function purely of evolution. The Dutch, said to be the tallest white people, have grown on average about 15 cm in the last century or so. It is a strange thing to note that, when someone from the Netherlands goes to southern France, only about 1000 kms, he can pick out another Dutchman in a crowd, simply because both are taller, on average that is (this is from personal experience!).<br>
