‚Average Male Height by Birth Year‘. Interesting trends but I couldn’t help noticing that the countries are cherry-picked and data are out of date by decades.

„Same species, different nutrition.“
Unless you have the data to show that this is driven by nutrition, you shouldn’t put this in your figure caption. If you do have those data, where are they? Your chart shows a trend over time, not a causal relationship between anything and height, let alone nutrition and height.

Sad for India. It suggests existing poverty.

From the era of British famines to post Independence, the height has barely moved in India. One in three children are stunted. This is the real condemnation of the successive governments and to an extent it’s the failure of society as well.
I wonder if the surge in Japan and Korea can be overlaid with the trend of per capita meat consumption. That seems to be the main problem with India – even the parts that do consume meat consume it rarely since it’s too expensive to be affordable for all.

Crazy how much harder the WW2 dip hit the Netherlands than it did Japan or the UK. I didn’t realize how bad the famine there was

I wonder if height is more or less of a factor that Dutch women look for in men
