Hey...this is in the bology section!!!
Why can't anybody give me a sceintific explanation as to why humans...only tend grow to a certain height???
And why also there are not smaller too...
What are the evolutionary reasons for this, and it's advatages???

Thank God you are not!
Evolutionary biology is mindless, only humans of what we perceive now as "normal size" were most fit for life circumstances, very small were too week, too large were in need for more food, which might not be always readily available, so the small ones would be killed and the large ones would starve to death! Another explanation would be that the large ones ate the smaller ones! So we lived until now! Is that plausible?

10 feet tall? Isn't that a little much? Haven't you listened to some of the people who are 7 feet plus tall and how hard it is for them to live in our smaller world. You would not be happy, and for God's sake, get a chair like the rest of us.

Because then your tiny heart couldn't pump enough blood up to your big I mean pretty head without your pretty feet falling asleep and you would have to eat 2-3 cows per day just to stay alive and you would have to get a car with a bubble top like the Pope just to fit your huge I mean pretty head.

They Were Giants and Still Are. Your Genetic Makeup Keeps You from being that Tall.

As human evolutions were from Ape and NOT from Elephant or Giraffe, that's why you are not 10 feet tall.
You can get specific biological answer from here:

People will always ponder what they consider their shortcomings. If you were 10 feet tall, you would wonder why you weren't 12 instead.

it depends on genetic stats. u want to reach the top self. but if we were 10 feet, would we make the self 10feet ? we would make it 15 feet high.

If we were that tall, I reckon they'd just move shelves up to 20 feet.

This is a very stupid question. Better concentrate on some useful topics and don't waste others' time.

Same here Kunwar. Time wasting is total stupidity.
