People who live close to the equator tend to be shorter due to a combination of genetic, environmental, and nutritional factors. The warm climate and abundant food resources often lead to a lifestyle that favors smaller body sizes, which can be more efficient in heat regulation. Additionally, historical patterns of evolution and adaptation have favored shorter stature in some equatorial populations as a response to their specific environments. Nutritional factors, including access to diverse diets, also play a critical role in determining height.
