I’m not sure we stopped evolving. We are 4-6 inches taller than our counterparts from the early 1900’s.

Which has been credited to the increase of nutrition [including reducing deficiencies], especially in the childhood years, in the people’s diet.
Also, two of my little brothers are taller than I, does that mean they are more evolved? — I *really* don’t think that height is proof of evolution.

“I’m not sure we stopped evolving. We are 4-6 inches taller than our counterparts from the early 1900’s.”

Or maybe just better diet, hygiene, & living conditions.
