how tall was the tallest person on earth?

Question

he/she can be from way back when people were created!!!!

Answer 1

32 feet 6 inches....

Answer 2

Robert Pershing Wadlow 8ft 11.1inches. Had problems standing and had an operation to fit a brace to his leg. Brace didn't fit properly and he died because of these implications (infection or somthing similar) aged 22 I think around 1920s

8ft4 AJAZ AHMED
Wait until this guy gets confirmed by Guiness. He is reported to be 2.54m (About 8ft4)

8ft4 LEONID STADNIK
He too, has yet to be confirmed by Guinness, but he has been featured in a wide range of media. He is from a small village in Ukraine and has some form of tall-sickness. He doesn't want to cash in on his height like some of his fellow villagers suggest. He says he wants to stay at home and help his mom and sister out (who barely come up to his waist). He is about 8ft4 and is still growing, which means he will probably beat out Robert Padlow as the tallest man to ever live at 8ft11.

Answer 3

Tallest Man

WHO:
Robert Pershing Wadlow
WHAT:
2.72 m (8 ft 11 in)
WHERE:
Alton, Illinois, USA
WHEN:
Last measured on July 15, 1940

The tallest man in medical history for whom there is irrefutable evidence is Robert Pershing Wadlow. He was born at Alton, Illinois, USA, on February 22, 1918, and when he was last measured on June 27, 1940, was found to be 2.72 m (8 ft 11.1 in) tall.

Wadlow died at 1:30 a.m. on July 15, 1940, in a hotel in Manistee, Michigan, as a result of a septic blister on his right ankle caused by a brace, which had been poorly fitted only a week earlier. He was buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Alton, in a coffin measuring 3.28 m (10 ft 9 in) long, 81 cm (32 in) wide and 76 cm (30 in) deep.

Wadlow's greatest recorded weight was 222.71 kg (35 st 1 lb) on his 21st birthday and he weighed 199 kg (31 st 5 lb) at the time of his death. His shoe size was 37AA (47 cm, 18½ in long) and his hands measured 32.4 cm (12¾ in) from the wrist to the tip of the middle finger. He wore a size 25 ring. His arm span was 2.88 m (9 ft 5¾ in) and his peak daily food consumption was 8000 calories.

At the age of nine, he was able to carry his father Harold F. Wadlow, later Mayor of Alton, who stood 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in) and weighed 77 kg (170 lb), up the stairs of the family home.

Answer 4

Bear in mind that if a 10 foot man is the same proportions as a 5 foot man, he will be 8 times the weight.

So, if a 5 foot man weighed 100lbs, a 10 foot man of the same proportions would be 800 lbs.

That is the limiting factor in attaining height, and is why the tallest man needed leg braces, because he was not in proportion, so that his limbs could not support his massive weight.
