The secret lies in the selection of couples who were born from different areas. Scientists discover, if both parents were born from the same city, children who have will have a high average.
In contrast, if the parents grew up in areas far from each other, the offspring tend to grow tall. Dariusz Danel head researcher of the Institute of Anthology at the Polish Academy of Sciences said, this is due to genetic diversity.
Parents from different regions tend to have different genes than those who grew up in the same place. The greater genetic diversity, the greater the possibility of having a child with a body that is able to operate more efficiently.
The energy stored in the efficiency is then transferred into growth. "This effect seen in children during the three-stage developmental periods were analyzed with a range of 6-18 years," said Daniel.
To be sure, the team studied high Danel and 2675 boys and 2603 girls high information combined Polish parents and family income. The research results found, height is determined height of parents and well-being.
This is because, prosperous people tend to get good nutrition. But as written Dailymail , there is a surprising fact, the genetic diversity of each person has a big influence as well.
Most kids get enough food west into fuel for growth. However, if nutrition is less, the marriage of a remote area proved very profitable.
The results of this study were published in the American Journal of Physical Antrhopology . (Here)
