In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Europeans in North America were far taller than those in Europe and were the tallest in the world.[108] The original indigenous population of Plains Native Americans was also among the tallest populations of the world at the time.[109] Several nations, including many nations in Europe, have now surpassed the US, particularly the Netherlands, and the Scandinavian nations.
In the late nineteenth century, the Netherlands was a land renowned for its short population, but today it has the second tallest average in the world, with young men averaging 1.83 m (6 ft 0 in) tall and in Europe are only shorter than the peoples of the Dinaric Alps (a section largely within the former Yugoslavia), where males average 1.856 m (6 ft 1 in) tall. The Dinarians and the Dutch are now well known in Europe for extreme tallness.

1000 years ago average height in Europe was around 160cm

[Zack_Fair]

163 is a bit of an under representation of India IMO. It should atleast be 166...

I dont understant why english troops used to be alot taller then dutch. Economy or food changed?

I always thought that English people have medium height. Because Swedish/American/Dutch actors alot taller then actors from United Kingdom

And history says - that 2000 years ago Celtic Tribes was alot shorter then Germanic Tribes

There's no data for Albania or Kosova as far as i know.
I would guess something like 178-179 cm on average for younger generations.

Males right?

btw I don't think Austrians are that tall and Italians so short, everytime I see youngsters and happen to go to the University it's really rare to see males under 1,80 and females under 1,70.
