There is a study that shows medieval height was similar to the present. See the related link below for a link to that study.

During the industrial revolution poor nutrition was responsible for much of the height loss.

I remember reading that early Roman Legionnaires had to be 5'10".

I don't think there has been a steady evolutionary increase in height

there are many other factors and more research needs to be done.

What is the largest diameter the average human can hold?

With one hand, the average male human cannot hold and grasp a basketball from the top without it falling. The standard basketball is a little over 9 inches in diameter. Given that women will have smaller hands on average, the diameter that the average human can hold and prevent from falling, and this is complete conjecture, should be between 5-7 inches. But first, the average human hand size would have to be determined. With two hands, the largest diameter object the average human could hold would be significantly larger, dependent on the wingspan of the average human, the surface texture and the weight of the object, and the average height and strength of the average human .
