What inheritance pattern best explains how genes influence human height?

Human height is influenced by multiple genes, making it a polygenic trait. The pattern of inheritance is more complex than simple Mendelian traits, as height is continuously variable and influenced by environmental factors as well. This fits with the idea of polygenic inheritance.

Why do some human traits such as height and hair color show a large numbers of phenotype?

These type of traits are distributed normally because the are the result of polygenic expression; many genes contributing to a trait So, due to recombination, there can be almost any combination of genes contributing to a trait. In the case of height there may be up to 8 genes contributing to human height. 8! = 40,320 combinations of these 8 genes. So height is distributed in expression instead of discrete, though gene combinations that would make humans extremely tall, or extremely small are, most usually, selected against. See a normal distribution of heights picture online.
