Average height varies globally by country, sex, and generation, but generally, the tallest populations are in Europe (like the Netherlands for men) and shorter averages are found in some parts of Asia and South America, with world averages around 5' 8.1" (173 cm) for men and around 5' 3" (160 cm) for women, though figures differ. Key factors influencing height include genetics and nutrition, with better living standards generally leading to taller averages, notes the Wikipedia article on human height.

Examples of Average Heights (Adults)

  • Netherlands (Tallest): Men around 6' (182.9 cm), Women around 5' 7" (169.3 cm).
  • United States: Men about 5' 9.7" (177 cm).
    • China: Men around 5' 7" (169.7 cm).

Where different people, our faces actually look different, i think because of nutrition, and a lot of (raw) milk products, and that over 100s of years., maybe even thousands
