I thought the Lithuanians were the tallest.

Americans, once among the world's tallest people, have dropped from having men and women at 3rd and 4th in the global height rankings a 100 years earlier, to placing 37th and 42nd respectively in 2014. See...America doesn't win anymore.
Mr Presumptive President pick up the gold phone....Donald...we need to change this so fast our heads will spin.
I guess deporting all gravitationally challenged illegals is a start.

A Dutchman I know attributed it to all the dairy in their diet, especially the cheese.

homogenous population genetics versus diluted genetics of multicultural populations? “Americans” encompasses a lot of different racial combinations/genetic dilutions, whereas Laplanders or Icelanders remain a persistent genetic base.

you can have a short genetic base, so that’s not the answer. Look at Amazonia tribes or pygmies.
