A new race in making

Re: A new race in making

The average height of a Pakistani male today is 5'7". So they must have been about 5'11" back in the 1960s? LOL I call BS on that.

The average German male today is not even that tall. LOL

Re: A new race in making

I personally think that the height is increasing now, as the newer generation seems to be a bit taller than the older one and I believe that has mostly to do with protein intake.

Speaking on the occasion, Vice Chancellor, UAF Professor Dr Iqrar Ahmad Khan, said that cousin marriages were also one of the reasons for the short stature of Pakistanis.

I also don't like cousin marriages. But to put every blame on cousin marriages is ridiculous.
Where is the research suggesting it?

Maybe try hanging upside down on bars, no?

If the genes are same from a tall family then the family should stay tall. No reason for them to go short. Isn’t it?

This wan’t even funny, forget serious.

On the other hand, the kids in some Western countries are growing abnormally large
because of cancer-causing growth hormones in the meat and milk supply.
And girls are maturing much quicker.

its so true. my Dadi, Dada and Nani were very tall. and all the brothers of my nana were very tall too.
when compared to my mum/dads generation, only 2 brothers were tall and from my mother side, every one is 5'1-5'7- no one really tall.

in my village, older generation (my grandfather's generation) is taller than last (parents generation) or even this generation.

my dada jee even so ill in his last days, still used to drink sweet lassi, kadu ka halwa with ghee, and ghee wali roti with big bowl of desi ghee and suger. yet his heart, cholesterol, and suger level were perfect.

Re: A new race in making

so if malnutrition is responsible for short people, what about Africa?

Urm....ahem...yeah. No answer to that bc like i said before. It's all BS. The current generation in Pakistan is atleast 1 inch taller than the previous one, if not even more. Cousin marriages have been around for quite a while, if people would get shorter because of this, a large number of pakistanis would be no taller than 4 feet.

Malnutrition is not directly proportional to economic success of the country. A "poor" African tribe from our standards may be getting a good nutritional meal in their area.

errrr We are talking about malnutrition vs height here, how did economy jump in? Are you serious about poor African tribe getting ‘good’ nutritional meal in their area? check height/weight ratios etc.
