your height is around the expected polygenic variation (1.2 SD above the midparental expectation)

you probably inherited a combination of height associated alleles that skew toward the upper bound of your familial genetic potential.

offspring can exceed both parents in a quantitative trait due to additive genetic recombination esp. if parents carry complementary alleles that weret fully expressed in their own phenotypes
thats basically what i was thinking mid-parent height is just an average, individual variation can be pretyy big. i mean it makes sende that some height alleles didnt fully express in my parents but did in me

this might be a dumb theory niggers but hear me out

My Daddy is 161 cm 5'28 feet (if that maked sense im not used to american gooning units of measurement) and my Mommy is 154 cm so 5 feet.
YET IM AROUND 174 CM 5'9 AT 17.
i know im not tall, but hey i couldve been shorter wtf.

And i know that some gooners will come and reply with "Nutriton/sleep" matters but that alone doesent explain that jump imo.
so from what ive read and researched about height is that it isnt just "average of parents", its polygenic. like a lot of genes involved, not just one or two. so some traits might skip a generation or only show when compined in a certain way

(I provide the sources below btw)
also, mid parent height formulas are just averages anyway. they work on big groups, not on single people, so different results are obviously gonna exist

not saying that genes just spawn out of ur buthole, just that ur mama and papa pass down a bunch of genes and sometimes the combo comes out wrong and waaaay different. ig environment just decides gow close u get to whatever height
i could be wrong idk my glamorous niggers. anyone else here that have short parents and ended up so to speak high

How tall are your uncle's? Or your dad's uncles? My dad is 165cm and my mom is 147cm while I'm 178.5cm. none of my uncle's are really as tall all of them cap at around 170 but my dad did say that he remembers his uncle's being as tall as me or even a bit taller

they all are the same height as my dad like no joke, someone are slightly taller. but heyyy another tall person with short parents, we literally won lotto like no joke
