Also, if people would stop banging the fat and ugly the overall population should improve in appearance and health.
So we should round up all the insanely hot and incredibly athletic women in the country and force them to procreate with every guy?
I got firsts!

I agree but I don't think that applies. Americans eat the most unhealthy crap in the world. Do you think inner city kids who become 6'9 and can jump over a building are that way because of a balanced diet?
The same could be said about the diets of the livestock we grow to eat, they keep getting bigger too.

Because the kid still needs to develop properly.

I just had the horrifying thought that, within my lifetime, it will be a thing for women to have early C sections to preserve their figure from months 8 & 9 of pregnancy.
That's been a Hollywood thing for several years, already, brah...

Unless you can prove there are more 7' tall people than there were 20 years ago with a sample size larger and less selective than just "pro atheletes," you have no argument.

The answer is brain development. Relative to most other animals, humans are helpless when born. Physically we should develop longer. But the size and shape of human brain can not get any larger in the womb bc of the size and shape of a woman pelivic bones.

Really, it's about getting our brains to properly develop. The longer it takes an organism to fully develop, the smarter it typically is.

Calories are calories. It might not be the healthiest possible die, but it promotes more growth than starving and barely getting enough calories to get by than what used to happen.
Think Malthus.

Climate plays a roll as well as does the existence of disease, historically speaking of course.

My Mom's Dr. said I took a full 10 months to be born. I came out at 10 pounds & half an ounce. My I.Q. was tested when I was 9 at 136.

This thread reminds me of Asians trying to ride a buffalo.

Oh I see. Can you list the training that makes people taller than they were 20 years ago? You cant train height.
Technology isn't limited to just coming up with Crossfit.

I believe in controlled eugenics with willing participants/volunteers.
We need Phelps and Missy Franklin to have children.
We need Usain Bolt and Carmelita Jeter to have children.
Richard Dawkins and whoever the smartest woman is. (don’t think Steven Hawking can get it up ;) )
Lebron James and Candace Parker…
Mike Trout and the best softball player who isn’t a lesbian…
And so on…

you don't understand evolution at all if you think decades of time mean anything
100 years of evolutionary time is like a nanosecond to us
