everytime when i visit western countries, i feel like i am a kid.
i am only 4f11inch.
even my english boyfriend's brother mistook me for 12yo. actually i was 22yo when i met him.
when i asked this question to my boyfriend, he said they are tall cause of the food they eat.
i am asian and i have had lots of meat and milk since i was a kid like western people. but i am still small.

Western people have a better diet than some other countries. We understand the `values `in our foods, and how to eat a well balanced meal. We eat foods which
encourage the growth of body cells and skin and teeth and bones. We also have better health care and adequate medicine. We live in comfortable homes and generally have a better lifestyle. We are educated better and are taught how to look after our health.

caucasion people developed in a cold climate where you have to be large to survive to have more heat in your body (think prehistoric animals) but yes it did have to do with there diet, they ate much more rural foods back then, caucasions actually were a lot taller then they are now because our diets have changed in modern times, but it is all genetics and has to do in what type of environment people have come from, the reason we are light skinned and have light eyes and hair is because there isn't that much energy from the sun in that part of the world so our skin had to be light to take in as much vitamin d as possible

It is because of the food they eat .. it has been proving. Westerners have a high calorific content in their diet

its not really a race thing anymore, since there is alot of mixing now a days then there was back when our parents were little. so i think its just in our blood you know genetic.

Genetics, environmental adaptation, and food availability.

I read about this tribe in Africa that was 9' tall.
People are just different sizes.
