It's a translation error. I do not speak English well.
Dinaric Alps is a mountain range in southern Europe covering parts of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro and Albania. Despite the name, they are separated from the Alps.

are regions of the world with the biggest stockings sorry for my mistakes!

I don't think Brazil's average is that tall.

Fitting the Task to the Man, 1987 (for heights in USA and Japan)
Eurostat Statistical Yearbook 2004 (for heights in Germany)
Netherlands Central Bureau for Statistics, 1996 (for average heights)
Mean Body Weight, Height, and body mass index, United States 1960 - 2002
UK Department of Health - Health Survey for England
Statistics Norway, Conscripts, by height, Per cent
Manuel's Website ..
some references you can find in the Wiki,
to ensure the translation I am not talking to use the wikipedia just to look for the references indicated the. some references are sadly outdated, as those in Brazil reported as 1.70 of the average research of 1989 - but currently it is already 1.75 in general and 1.77 in metropolitan regions research in 2016

Are height distributions left-skewed? While I don't doubt the true average for Americans is probably 5'10, I do feel like I see among young people more people who are 6ft+ than people I see under 5'8, though maybe it's just because larger people are easier to notice?

Lol at Brazil, Italy, Greece and Spain. Could not be more wrong.
