(what was was since the knights? ) 600 years.. give and take.. Not forgoing all the other changes we people have made.... that we should no longer be considered homo sapiens and should classed as a new evolved species.....REMEMBER you may have heard it here first....... ............................................................................................................................................................................................................ And I also believe that man was on all the continents before and after they split however long ago it was. and did not initially populate north america via the bering strait ... does anyone agree with me on this point?

We're actually classified as Homo Sapiens Sapiens, not just Homo Sapiens.
As for your comment about putting us into a new class: no. You see, height isn't the only thing involved in judging whether or not a species has evolved. You have to consider things like brain size, body structure (spine, posture, how many feet we walk on, average size of body, etc.). As for your theory that we have grown two inches, that's also pretty much bullshit. Most people of backgrounds that were (for the most part) tall are still tall, and most people of backgrounds that were (for the most part) short are still short. There are still many exceptions, for example: Germans are, on average, a larger people, and yet I know people who have German in their background, and are very short. You also have to take into consideration the fact that many people of different backgrounds have always (and continue to) have children with people of different backgrounds than their own. Overall, people (on average) may be slightly taller than they were 600 years ago, but that does not justify the statement you're making.
Your other point about humans initially emerging out of every continent is still unproven - though I do agree with you - and there are other theories in existence, such as the 'Out of Africa' theory (do some research if you don't know what I'm talking about).
I hope that my answer provided you with a bit more insight.

Nah, you're alone. We're the Homo Sapiens Sapiens, not very evolved, and I believe that they crossed over the Bering Strait, until you present me with adequate arguments.

My brother was 5"8' at 16 at 18 he was 6"5'
Did we evolve or just get taller?

Short attention span made your long answer hard to follow.
But I like peanut butter and cheese.

I don't think 2 whole INCHES qualifies us as a new species. It qualifies us as "taller"
