Why are the Dutch so tall? BBC News 

sweiland75 lol

U d man 4 dis comment 😂

😂

this made me lol 😂

But still limited by genetics... to only 1cm

The only people in the netherlands that are of the same height as them are africans and dutch caribeans ( males)

@ Fixthings247, i said african as in african nationals not african as in african that is to vague africans are all different from each other. How can you say ''Africans are short, they average at 5'6'' africans are not one country like holland. I am talking about the people living in holland who are tall besides the dutch themself and from all the foreigners here the Dutch of african backgrounds aswell the ones from the Dutch Carribean are the same height avarage or taller. And africans as a whole are known for being tall every country you go to you will find alot of tall africans on avarge even the shorter ones are more like 175 which is average height. I can say asians as whole are short to avarage height. While Africans and Europeans are above avarge height to very tall.

Lui Chen Diet differences have a major part to play.

@ Fixthings247yes of course there are countries in africa where people are shorter just like european countries like italy, greece, spain, portugal,malta etc people there on avarge are not so tall especially in Italy. Malawi, Zambia are short in general. But people from countries like Senegal, South Sudan, Rwanda ( as you mentioned), Somalia, Ivorycoast, Ghana, Ethiopia are generally tall people. The kids born here in Holland are even taller as you said even better nutrition. True nutrition plays a role but africans in general are tall. If you go to the usa, cuba, colombia, brazil all the africans decendants of slaves are on avarage the taller then most groups. Same can be said of europeans. If you look at asians decandants in Jamaica, Guayana, usa, canada, hawaii etc on average most have been short for centuries. The dutch as are tall as a nation by avarage but not as a ethncity. The dinka are taller on avarge but there group is spread among multiple nations so its hard to get clear statistics. For example the dutch on avarge are taller then afrikaners of SA and both are ethicaly dutch. So it true nutrition plays a role. Holland is very wealthy and have a good nutriotion system.

@Fixthings247 Wel i disagree on some parts. 1. Wikipedia is not really a reliable source as they reference old information in many cases and somtimes inaccurate in sources ( in othr words wiki is not all that reliable in infromation). So height online of countries might differ in reality. And height measurement is not frequently measured on a yearly basis to have a objective and consistent reference. In the case of many african countries is complexity as multiple african nations have somewhat 30+ different ethnic groups living in one state. For example if you take the Hausas of Nothern Nigeria they on avarage are very tall people but are also found in neighbouring states so again its hard to have statistics based on one single ethnic group. The netherlands is full of ethnic dutch so its easy to measure the height of one single ethnic group who are the dominant in one country. Southern Europeans would have a better ''diet'' so to say then most african nations due to poverty but majority are still short as in comparison to the dutch. Even in Italy there are sizalble Senegalese, Ivorian, Ghanian communities ( not talking about refugees) who who tower 2wice over Italians. Just look at Mario Balotelli, Ogbanna both one of tallest players in the italy national team. I am not saying because they of african heritage they are tall. But because they belong to ethnic groups who are very tall in country of orgin but where there are not statistics about based on their single ethnicties. Yes its true that south asian countries likeThailand, Philippines are short but not comparable to africans in general who are much talller. I disagree with them being tiny .....far from it. I lived in France and Holland and france there are many french speaking african communities and many just tower over everyone 6ft-6t 5 ( not all of course) but on averga they belong to the tallest groups in France. Even the french are avarge height in general. Its not just selective breeding with black americans in slavery. But also pure genetics many slaves come from areas where people are on avarge above normal height to tall ( Senegal, Ivory Coast, Guinea, Gambai etc). I dont know what you mean by '' white diet and white influence''. Is diet all of a sudden tied to race and how did white influance make a ethnic group in america taller ? For the rest agree with you in genral. Nutrion is key and the weathier the country the better the nutrition can be. But genetics do play a role.

***** Good point. That was actually cited as a reason the Vietnamese were able to withstand the French and Americans in combat. Because they could get by with eating so little.

Americans are short and fat when compared to a majority of Europe. Americans use to be taller than a majority of European countries but not the case anymore. American men use to average about 5'10" a couple of decades ago but look about 5'8" on overall average height for men with the white and black populations shrinking to about 5'9" in male height. Some will say this shrinking in overall average height is due to the latin American and Asian immigrants. This is true to some extent because most of these immigrants are shorter on average than white and black Americans but these 2nd and 3rd generation Latin Americans and Asian Americans look the same in average height as white and black Americans. But the biggest differences with Americans in the last couple of decades is that there were far less overweight and obese people. Today it is more common for a 5'8" man to be over 200 IBS than a 6'2" man in the 1970s to be over 200 IBS. I have an old high school football magazine when my brother was playing football in the late 1970s. Compared it to a recent high school football team from the same high school and looked at the statistics and found that the players in the late 1970s had more players over 6'0", especially over 6'2". But at the same time these players in the late 1970s had far fewer players over 200 IBS. Today being overweight is very common in the USA and the obesity problem is also growing rapidly. Americans on average exercise less and eat more junk food plus we consume these GMO foods. Not only that we eat too fast and inhale our foods instead of chewing are foods because in the USA we are always in a hurry. Decades ago we ate less junk food and didn't eat these GMO foods and were much more physically active as young kids, teenagers and young adults. The families use to eat together and take our time eating our foods and had conversations about what we did during the day. Today it is rare in the USA to get the family together for a meal and if we do we eat our meals very fast and have little to no conversations with each other and play with our smartphones instead of talking with each other about our day.

Its weird because as a dutchman, i see asian people growing up here half asian and half dutch, and they grow easily to 190cm or more! I think its more diet and lifestyle than genetics

@@piter4595 In South Sudan they are also very tall... I was there, when I asked I was told that their water has minerals that contribute to growth. In the Netherlands the foods that are mainly consumed more than other countries are: pindakaas, kaas, melk, spruitjes, herring vis, etc. May be the secret lies in these foods. :)

@@piter4595 its genetics. I'm Asian. All of my family are lactose intolerant but every male in my family is above 6 feet. My brother is 6'3 which is very tall for an Asian. I'm 5'7 which is tall for a female South East Asian.

@@piter4595 thats because of European genes that took over since most asians genes are recessive,,,,I am from Somalia too and I stand at 1.89m has well an still growing I consume a lot of milk and eat more meats I hardly eat eat vegetables and I absolutely hate fish and hate eating vegetables aside from tomatoes and salads are alright but other vegetables like beans are my stop,

Dairy indeed plays a vital role in height growth. I stopped drinking milk for a year a my little Bros just dominated in height with extra 4 inches in a year. I started drinking milk and consuming dairy products because i really don't want to be average lol

***** That isn't what she's saying. To clarify everyone has an upper limit on height built into their genome, and how close you get to that upper limit depends on environmental factors in your life like health and diet. Of course a primordeal dwarf's upper limit is way lower than most persons', but most people are not primordial dwarfs either so they don't really carry much statistical significance here

***** Aye, i've heard there are multiple genes that control height, you could have two short parents and be way taller than both of them depending on which genes you get from who, i think there are certain genetic factors at play, sexual selection. Most of it is probably just because of increasingly good diet, medicine and lifestyle compared with a couple hundred years ago.

Why do you sound so sad merel you are sounding like you are the only short person there

***** I'm only 6'2 and i have to half-limbo when i'm using cash machines a lot because the buttons look like they line up with different options from my natural vantage. Seems like some dutch people would have to kneel to get the right viewpoint. Some homes have ridiculous light switches too, like they have an upstairs, so not great for a wheelchair users, but all the light switches are at wheelchair user height, it makes no sense!

***** At least you never crush your skull when you're going downstairs at peoples houses

That's what I said

Milan it gets on my nerves that people act like it's difficult to learn. We use it interchangeably when talking about things like sports that use it, and then our own things. It's like saying we shouldn't have more than 1 language.

josetogan cm and m are more accurate.

joep kroes that's the point. They are too accurate. They are impractical because everyday life requires larger and less precise measurements.

I had to convert, but apperantly 6"2 is 187 cm, wich is 5 cm taller than the average height here in the Nethsrlands. And we're taller now than all those years ago, so 187 was considered very tall back then. I think foreigners think we're a lot taller than we actually really are.

@@geyaneya1498 6'6 to 6'8 is considered massive in the US though. I was working at this place which randomly had several guys between 6'5 to 6'8 working there which is not typical at all in the US. Some little kid asked, "Mom why are the men here soooo tall?" Didn't hear the explanation lol.

He's 5 inches below average height in his country, it's not that unusual

Giant Nordic Aliens to be precise.

i thought the bible was all lies.

dark light not the bible mate a Much older religion

Der Unbekannte the height of the 6'4 male and 6'1 female is bull shit,she only looks 1/2 inch shorter

Vegeta tru i didnt even think about that.

yea he said he is 2.05cm which is 6'9

Xd.I’m dying from this chat.

The second thing the Dutch are known for is their bluntness..

@@aldosigmann419 i guess they’re just straight to the point

Lol bro this is from 2015...

That’s basically your life ruined.

Damn that would be sick😂

Life would be hard then, everything is made for people atleast 5’6

Wesley Sneijder

Is it the majority of them? Cause it sounds so cool

@@raniariri6695 Dutch people are the tallest worldwide. I am 6’2 and with shoes 6’3 and a group of Dutch tourist passed me on the road and all the men were towering over me

@@footballfan283 I didn't know that, this is so cool, your height is great so to say that they tower over you it describes it easily, thank you for your comment

No wonder he looks clearly more than an inch taller than the 6'6 women.. Bt the 6'4 guy only looks slightly taller than the 6'1 woman.. Maybe cz she is wearing heels

If u take a part of a countrey to look at then same can be doen with the dutch. In some places the average height is 6'4

@Julius north, the farther north u go the taller we become

@Julius in boeren dorpjes vind je de langste mensen. Steden niet. Op mijn school die omringt is met allemaal kleine dorpen zit vol met lange kinderen. Geen idee wrm. Misschien eten wij veel gezonder dan stads mensen

@Julius ja dat zei ik al.

If you factor in the Dinka of South Sudan as an ethnic group alone they are taller than the Dutch on average. As the Dinka make up only 38% of South Sudan this is why "South Sudan" is not cited as the "tallest country" in the world. As an ethnic group alone they certainly are.

Even in the Netherlands you'd still feel like a freak. That's way above average for a woman in any country.

you are a liar

You have a photo? I'm curious what a 195 cm Japanese woman looks like XD

Iphigenia Papakonstantinou το όνομά σου δεν νομιζω οτι ειναι ιαπωνικό

You meant the older Japanese women, the younger ones are taller,probably 158 on average.

I am 147cm, I would be a midget's child LOL.

I am Dutch and 1.70. Noone calls me a midget. But maybe you are a man.

babbisp1 if were her I would say that I’m 200 cm

Marko from Tropoja thanks

i prefer the other explanation. the men are also selecting females for height. if the guy is 6'9" and the female is 6'0" their children will likely be taller than with the guy being 6'9" and the female 5'2"

I heard it is due to a lot of dairy consumed there.

@@GoldKingsMan that is more seen as a joke then a fact. But I’m pretty convinced it helps, it’s especially good for your bones. In the North of the Netherlands (Friesland/Groningen) are the tallest Dutch people and they also were/are the biggest diary consumers.

@@hannahboldewijn I plan to head Friesland one day, got some roots from Colonial times.

are you indos? if you are, prolly that your indonesians/south east asian genes are too strong?

Are you ethnically dutch or immigrant dutch :)

MPDeventer that does not even make sense

Nope it does (although that's not really the reason this time ahah).

Una città bizzarra e chiassosa when ur lower gravity is not weaker than 100 meters above u so no does not make sense

een naam Gravity pulls us down, so we are all naturally shorter when standing because our spine is constantly exposed to its force during the day, unlike when we sleep. That's kinda what he was saying and yes, i know that's unreleated and not the cause of the dutch being taller than average.

Una città bizzarra e chiassosa he never said everybody lies down?

Rocky Playz average height is 6’3 for south sudani

Yemenite Knight I’m a Yemeni Yehudi🕎

Israeli Treasures who knows if we can be possibly related 😊

@@Z_-un4eo average hight for south sudan is 5ft 9"

Jason Taylor Ayyyy

5’10 14 yr old from America lmao

How can the dutch be so tall compared to americans yet i know plenty of americans that are just as huge including myself

Where did you visit?

We are definitely not all blond. We are know to be friendly, but also for being direct. Can be confused with blunt, but we always mean well. Everything above 6.2 is too tall by the way.

Aren’t boys from Jupiter and girls from mars how do girls mate? And I don’t want to know about boys🤮🤮🤮

@@moribuntaro people from Jupiter are short probably average height is 1 meter. People from Mars are the tallest ones they are around 5 meters tall

It's true, I'm 1.90 and have the same problems. Doing the dishes makes my back hurt because the sink is so low.

I am 1.47, much shorter than you. And thank god I do not need to crouch down. I am asian too, so i am a shortie.

Aziz L Compared to 90 % of the world.

William Lucas but that's like 3 inches above the average height lol

The DU'RAG not in the US and not forty years ago.

I am going to go there to shatter my ego and have a self realization journey. Those people are the most genetically blessed but that won't stop me or make me ungrateful.

Sure it is a big hit on confidence, but it's too beautiful to not visit it at least once

@@drownedjohnny4842 there is nothing beautiful to lose your confindence

I hear the women only have children will tall men no exceptions.

Explain Japan then?
