I would say the Nordic nations and the Dutch. The British tend to be quite tall as well, even their women seem to taller, but they do have more amount of shorter people than their cousins in both gender.

As far as I know the Netherlands. I've often heard it on the radio and read it in newspapers. Maybe this info is outdated though. :)

The tallness of the Dutch is a bit exaggerated. I'm only 190 cm and frequently get remarks on how 'tall' I am by other Dutch people and I am very often the tallest guy among groups (meaning it's odd/unusual, even here).

I'm almost 6'2 and here in Toronto there's lots of tall people. When I lived outside the city I was generally the tallest of my friends, but now, it's not unusual to see 2nd or 3rd generation Asians that are taller than me. Seriously. Lots of brown/Arab people are taller than me as well, and of course, lots of black guys are taller.

It must be all the hormones in the fast food diets that the lower class eat that is the cause of this.

Dutch are the tallest, in fact average height for Dutch is actually 190cm compared to Dinaric people who are 185cm... But 185cm in Kosovo doesn't even seem special in most cases.. There are people in Kosovo who are well over 190cm and they don't live around the Dinaric Alps but towards East of Kosovo near the Sharr Mountains.. I've seen more tall people around East Kosovo then West Kosovo.

I think Dutch Lithuanians South Slavs and Northern Albanians are the tallest. But Dutch are tallest.

The average height of dutch is 183 cm, not 190 cm my dear. There are men in very northern albania and among albanians in montenegro who are above 210 cm and more than 150 kg.... the new generation of albos in kosovo is gigantic.... but overall i agree with your statement.

It clearly states average height for Dutch is 190cm and Germans are 184cm, and Dutch are the tallest... I've been to the Dinaric countries they didn't strike me as tall whereas the Dutch did when I was in Holland...

Albanians from Albanian are short! I went there majority of them are short! Albanians from Kosovo are very tall most young males 18-26 are mainly around 185-190cm tall, I know cause my brother who is 19 is 186cm tall and most young men stand above him. Older men in Kosovo are shorter.

Out of all European countries I've been to Dutch were the tallest, but Albanians from Albania were the shortest.

Hahaha you serbian off spring, the people in tirana are the last ones to be taken as examples to judge albanian phenotypes and height because 40% of the Tirana population is foreign or non ethnic albanian ( vlachs, goranis, gollobordas, ashkalis, greeks) and from the other 60% left, 90% of them are tosks ( who are short), and a lot of those tosks are old people who are generally short.

The ghegs of northern albania in tropoja, dukagjin and Malsia e Madhe are taller than kosovars, i mentioned to you that in dukagjin and tropoja there are 60 years old men who are above 210 cm, the uncle of my father is 195 cm and he is 76 years old.

Lol I do not need to "post" some Albanians from kosovo who are 220cm.. Most are at least 184+.. Why don't you go to kosovo and see for yourself? Villages are good examples... You'd be suprised... Albanians from kosovo are taller then Albanians from malsia and north Albania.

Stop lying to yourself you don't know any short Albanians from tropoja.

Besides, they don't give any source, they just say it. I could say it on tv too, but that wouldn't make it truth. I find it very hard to tbelive the average is 1,90 but I do belive that in some years time it'll get there.

I notice there are many having a hard time accepting facts; while scepticism is healthy, it should be applied equally.

An important aspect to keep in mind is that one's own notion of what is average depends on the environment one exists in; most commonly, one surrounds oneself with members of the same generation which leads to a tilting of the perceived idea of what is average in terms of things such as height; older generations tend to be shorter than their successors.

North Albania are not tall... Sorry but they are not... You can argue with me as much as you want but they looked pretty one the shorter side.

I've been to Bosnia and Herzegovina.. They are tall but not as tall as Lithuanians.

Ok. I won't say anything since I can't remember when was the last time I saw any Lithuanians.


Germans are taller then them, according to statistics, but I think Lithuanians are taller.. I can easily say that since I've been to both countries... But not lithuania.

Average for Lithuania according to wikipedia article "human height" for males 18 years old is 1.813 m (5 ft 11 1⁄2 in) and for Germans 18-25 year old is 1.810 m (5 ft 11 1⁄2 in). According to this Lithuanians are negligibly taller so I don't know what you are talking about.

When driving through Dalmatia I can see a lot of foreigners during summer. I know who is who especially when people stand by car (regis. plates). Indeed Germans are tall, but I wouldn't say that they are taller than Dalmatians or that Dalmatians are on average taller than Germans. We all have our experiences. All this measurements don't mean much. In human height wiki page you can see that where people have done two independent studies for the same nations with similar ages, the averages varied 3cm. It all depends on sample. Maybe in another sample Dinaric Alps would show 180cm as average. Who knows.

Average for Dinaric Alps is 184.6 (authors added one cm to that number so it magically became 186 for many people). Samples were taken from locations in Dalmatia and Herzegovina. From my observations Herzegovinians are taller than Dalmatians especially coastal ones. Maybe the number is a bit overblown. There are many short people here obviously since the average means average after all. I would never guess people here to be on average 184-185 cm tall. But when standing in line I can notice me with 187cm being nothing special, slightly above average. So the only way for someone to be taller than them on average is if actually they are more than 184cm taller on average since I wouldn't say they are much more shorter than that.

In Austria i am belonging to the smaller People, but it is not that extreme. there are some People, man also that are around my height or even slightly smaller, i'd say most People in Austria are about 1,80 +/- 5 cm.
Most turks in my place are rather tall and even the younger ones are tall for their Age and rather premature. The few Albanians i know are about average, but i know only 4 in total. The Serbian Girls i know are often rather small and delicate, one Girl i know is 1,50 m, but she really has a good Body with slender limbs and delicate Features, i notice that austrian Girls at that height are often having shorter limbs. serbian guys tend to be average, but also here i know some who are about my height, so not all Balkan People are super tall i suppose.
The arab tourists are mostly in my height class, they are smaller than average Austrians are. Russians, Swedes, Dutch or northern germans are very tall, often much taller than average austrians are.
When i was in Hungary it felt different, i saw much more small People than what i am used to in Austria.

Having an accurate grasp on the variability of human height doesn't inherently require traveling to every country in the world.

Either people lack the ability to properly analyze the precise heights of people they see in person or there's a whole lot of willful embellishment. I'm exactly 6'3 (190.5 cm) and when I went to college at a busy university I went the overwhelming majority of days without seeing a single person any more than a full inch above my height; and if I could choose to be an inch on either side of my height I would choose to be shorter, because once one starts getting to be taller than 6'4, 'tall' stops being a better descriptor than the word 'weird'. So when I read on the internet that my height would be merely average in some places or that people regularly see 2 meter giants, I can't help but call bullshit.

The British tend to be quite tall as well, even their women seem to taller, but they do have more amount of shorter people than their cousins in both gender.

Women from the UK are shorter than women from other northern European countries. It could be that some areas bring down the national average. Maybe women from Norfolk and Yorkshire are taller than women from Cornwall and Wales. You see this kind of thing in the various areas of the USA.

I agree I think it's a BS too. I'm 187cm and I am taller than majority easily no matter where I go. I look like giant among Latinos (white latinos maybe excluded here) and asians LOL

Plus optimal hight for human body is between 180cm and 185cm, that's where you can still be very fast and agile, agility drops off with hight drastically. I would settle for 183cm 6' as it seems ideal for overall performance of the human body.
