Two thousand years ago, people had different skill sets and knowledge base than we do today. For instance, contemporary culture is more technologically advanced than those living 2000 years ago.
There are some surveys that do suggest tall people have more success in life than shorter people.
the author of do taller people run faster then shorter people is Jim Liffer
shorter 365 + 365 = 730 = 720 + 10
It is shorter than in all other states
Not in any context I can think of. Assuming it's something like "This is 5 years shorter than that," then no. If you contract the word "is" to emphasize casual speech, you might see "Five years 's shorter than ten." There is an apostrophe in "Five years' worth of work". (The worth of work of five years.)

Slightly shorter than people today--But the idea that people are getting taller is an urban legend. Do tall people have more children? Nutrition and genetics are the keys. Record show that soldiers in the Revolutionary war were within 1 cm of draftees in WWII. Better yet, it is known that people 5,000 years ago were about as tall as people today, assuming their nutrition was okay.
Because of the way in which they were defined. Also, to prevent people from asking why an inch is shorter than a centimetre!
