    Northeast Chinese descents are very tall, on average 6 ft. All the Chinese people who are over 6'9 are all from Northeast China.

    Lol a 35 year old "boy". That makes Shape a kid too. [​IMG]

    <div class="quote_poster">M Two One Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">You don't become tall based on where you're from or your religion, that type of thing just happens. From what I know of it is really likely passed down from family genes even and if your mother and father are around 5'9" they could still have a son at 6'10" or a daughter at 6"5" just for example.</div>

    Yeah thats correct. If your generation for example is like from Africa, and your full African your self, then your kids are likely to be tall. Because of your generation and your genes. Also, Africans are mostly tall.

    That's strange, either the information I found on him was old as hell or they're a bit delayed on their sources. [​IMG] Thanks for posting the correct statistics.

    Some muslism are and other aren't. Mostly the Arab and African Muslims are bigger and stronger but Indian and Pakistani Muslims arent big or strong...their average height is like 5'6. My dad is 5'10 and was considered tall as a kid. I'm Arab and Indian so we'll see how the mix turns out.

    True! The Middle-Eastern are like big-boned (though there's no such thing as that) and South Asian's are normally not big.
