I saw the research just on this LL forum I can remember which stated that some height genes that can determine intelligence(or the opposite) but I can't find the original post.
Genes affect how tall one can become. Lifestyle is also a reason. I will use an example. In people with Chinese background before, parents wanted their kids to study hard, very hard, and go to good schools. There was a boy named Lee, he was from wealthy family. His mother had high expectation on him, so his mother forced him to stay home and study all the time, not much free time during which he could do the things he wanted to do, such as reading manga. If he didn't study hard and pass the exams, his mother would beat him with a stick, so he usually studied very hard from the age of 6 until he graduated from high school. He had growth spurt around age of 12-14, but he couldn't sleep because he had lots of homeworks and lots of books to read, he had to do it so his mother would let him sleep. And he often slept after 2AM, especially there were big exams coming up. Lee had the potential being a 180cm tall, but his final height was 155cm.
A lot of reasons could affect height.
Height has nothing to do with intelligence. I know that there are not too many short people in the media. But Martin Luther King Jr wasnt a tall guy. I think he was 5'6 at the most. And the guy had like a PHD in his early twenty. Look at people like Kevin Hart, Ariana Grande, Peter dinklage, Lady Gaga all are below average height for men and women. Tom Cruise another short guy. Im a short woman and I have always been very intelligent. My family is relatively short and all smart people. Whoever makes any studies that short height has to do with intelligence is a liar. Because there are many examples to showcase the brilliance and talent of short people.
Height has everything to do with LOOKISM. Whehter or not someone is physically attractive. Its a shallow aspect of society. And society IS very shallow. Society treats people by physical appearance.

I heard researches have found 140 genes of 800 height genes can also influence intelligence?
but the problem is, let's name the genes that can influence intelligence as X, and it does not indicate that the taller you are, the more X genes you have
This reminds me of scientific racism. A bunch of really Racist supremacists tried to use pseudo science to justify the subjugation of other races. But it failed.

You mean science community also contains 'discriminatory scientists'? I also heard some discriminatory scientists will stack the deck to make their researches convincing in regard of black people/women are inferior in intelligence, mortality, etc. But I have yet to look into it very much.
But if so then I think I am so naive to give all of my credibilities onto any scientific research. I was all the time thinking scientists were very really that 'scientific'.
Quote from: ilovescience on May 26, 2022, 02:30:59 PMI don't think height has to do with intelligence. They are different things.
A lot of successful business men are not tall.
Son the Chair of SoftBank, an example.
Yeah, statements like 'short people are more stupid than tall people' are definitely 'stupid'. Not to mention they don't know about statistics and genetics, we can also cite the opposite cases in reality to refute this kind of bs.

Heightism is an appearance problem. Unfortunately imo our world is very shallow.

Yeah, I gotta say although i don't know much about biology or whatnot, there were also studies stating how being taller by random inches affects health but instead they were all the time ignored(I don't feel happy over how much being taller by inches increase risks of diseases either because lifespan is a multifactored just like IQ).

In my opinion height has everything to do with a persons appearance. But not who they are as a person. Hieght has nothing to do with intelligence , character, talent or health.
the problem is that our world cares MORE about a persons physical appearance more than anything. Because it satisfies our own selfish lust desires.
And people want the whole package. Looks and personality. But more looks tbh.
