Better nutrition and easily diagnosing disorders and fixing them has helped the world grow taller
People are 10cm more taller than their grandparents and Dutch’s are 19cm more taller than their grandparents
Humans can and will grow taller(marrying taller people causes taller kids to be born)
The future generation will have an average height of 6 foot+ worldwide
It’s only a matter of time
Let’s not forget that genetically engineering humans is very possible(in the year 2000, at least 11 designer babies were born and then religious nut jobs protested about playing god and ethics etc and it then got placed on an international ban)
China and Russia openly practice it tho
You're trying to discuss this with the wrong person. I've already researched this extensively.
(Average) height reaches a plateau, which depends on the genetics of a population, and it has historically gone up and down - meaning it could happen again in times of famine, disease and war.
Above is a figure showing height is not increasing anymore, on average, in one of the tallest countries in the world: Finland. This process is expected in the long run, as each generation maximizes their genetic height potential through nutrition and better healthcare, and by also marrying their now taller counterparts. There has been a demonstrable limit to the repetition of this cycle in first-world societies in the last couple decades. The figure above shows it in Finland and the UK.
And here are some historical figures of height:
