    Default Height and Climate?

    Who here actually believes this statement?
    It's an adaption to climate, tall/thin is adapted to the warm and short/thick is adapted to the cold.
    I think height has something to do with altitude, not climate. Those in higher altitudes tend to be shorter and stockier. Also, I'm not certain but it could be because of poor nutrition or consumption of drugs or genetics, but probably all of those factors listed contributed. Anyone else feel like posting up their thoughts?

    This is true. Yet it doesn't explain why some people are shorter than others. In tropical countries you see short and tall people there all the time. I'm trying to figure out if it could have to do with nutrition. When you think about it, humans haven't really had long enough to differentiate that much, I think.

    This sucks major balls of steel. Guess people are too busy reading up on Honda information on how to install an intake rather than commenting on pretty interesting material. That could be useful one day in the future. Brain cells pwns intake performance.
