The genes, if two tall people have children, their children are liable to be tall as well, that is my guess. some times you will have one tall father and a short mother, but its just the luck of the draw, or perhaps our ancestors, if your ancestors were all really small, then there is a chance you will be quite small too.

In the past, we were all very small, and as evolution, and time, has gone on, we are much taller than we were back then. that is why on some very old buildings the doors will have small arches.

Do shorter basketball players have an advantage over taller players?

It is much easier to be good if you are taller. If two players have the exact same skill set, but one is taller than the other, the taller one would usually dominate. However, shorter players are known for their ability to penetrate defenses, and can be quicker at stealing despite their shorter reach.


How does white oak trees move?

White oak trees are shorter and wider than most trees around them. By being wider, they shade out seedlings that would grow into taller trees and shade them out. By being shorter, they let lightning hit and kill the taller trees. Once the taller trees growing right around them die, others do not replace them. They are still short so that lightning hits other trees. Lightning hits those trees which are replaced.


Can a tall person walk further than a shorter person?

If your talking about steps yes. But my science teacher said shorter and leaner people can run faster and longer than the taller and bigger people because they have smaller steps= faster and more coordinated steps on the other hand, taller and bigger people have more weight to carry around if it's bone mass or just (sorry if I offend anybody) fat Hope I helped!!

Do taller-people run faster than shorter people?

Yes and no. A tall person will be able to cover more distance with each step, but it will require more power as they have more to move; meaning the tall person may be better in the short-run, but they may tire quicker than the short runner. I'll say yes because the taller runner's legs are longer than the shorter runner,which cause the taller runner to take bigger steps than the shorter runner.


Why would a taller basketball player have trouble playing defense against shorter players?

Shorter players can be quicker because their center of gravity is lower to the ground and the ball closer to their hands. Taller players have the advantage in shooting (over other players) and in reach, but smaller players can negotiate the tight spots in beating a defense.


Does Eleanor Calder have a twin?

I think so but some people are saying that Larry shippers made up this rumor. I don't really ship Larry, but I wouldn't care if they were together, and I still think Elounor is fake. In some pictures she is taller then him and in others she is shorter, and I don't know why people say it's camera angles when people take the pictures at the same angles all the time. Other people think it's the shoes she's wearing, but I saw a Youtube video and it showed a picture of them at the same angle and she was wearing sandals, and in one picture she was taller and in one picture she was shorter. You could clear up questions by looking it up on Youtube; that helped me.


Do tall people shrink more or less?

Tall people tend to shrink less than shorter individuals as they age. This is because taller people have larger bones and more cartilage in between their vertebrae, which helps to maintain their height as they get older. Shorter individuals typically lose more height due to compression of their spinal discs and other factors.
