Apparently, Somalis are one of the shorter people in the Middle East

I've never believed the Yemeni stereotype until i had a Yemeni coworker at my part time job last year that was 5'2

Bin Laden though, but he's apparently half Syrian Arab and his Yemeni side is Afro-Yemeni admixed.

Dinkas who grew up Australia are much taller than Dinkas who grew up in South Sudan. There is a South Sudanese diaspora community in Australia.

according to this data.

Major cap im 5’9(175) and I’m the shortest of all my Somali male friends.
That is fake news from a Arab nationalist account(anti Saharan african people)

Probably because we are in the Arab league.

I was 172 cm (5'8) at age 13 lol. Ended up getting to 194 cm.

I was 150 cm in and 85 pounds in end of grade 9. Back then I would NEVER eat, at most I’d eat 1000 cals. My parents would force me but I’d shove the bariis in a plastic bottle and shove that down the garbage lol.

It wasn’t until the summer before grade 10 did my appetite fix up all of a sudden. I ate so much and slept so much. There were stretch marks all over my body and my joints constantly ached. I grew to 5’5-5’6 those 3 months of summer alone. I’m practically 6ft now. (still kinda skinny though)

That’s cap we used to be one of the tallest nations why were our giants wiped out... our geeljires

apparently somalis got shorter lol.

In 1910 we were the tallest nation in the world averaging almost 180cm (178.3 or something). While other nations got taller we got shorter kkkkk

if you took our 1910 height we’d wipe the floor with most nations even today.

You don't have to eat too much to get tall. Lots of skinny people in the West get tall during their teens. The problem is malnourishment and lacking crucial vitamins, calcium, and protein.

Children in Somalia have low calorie diets plus they lack many important micronutrients.

not eating enough causes all that. I’m not saying stuffing yourself like a pig will make you tall, but eating like a bird certainly won’t help.

I remember a court hearing about jesse two white foster parents who adopted black kids and literally made them eat a bowl of porridge in 5 mins and if they didn’t finish thats too bad. The kids would literally eat the dry wall and one day this lady on a run saw two little kids rummaging through her garbage, they looked about 6 and 9 respectively. But they were actually 14 and 17!!

Needless to say those crazy foster parents were locked up for life. But even when those 2 kids were put under professional care, the damage was already done. The 14 year old got lucky, he was still able to grow very quickly and up to 5’8” which still wasn’t his true height but he wasted too many years. The 17 year old only reached 5’4”.

Both of them had mental deficiencies with low IQ. Severe malnourishment is actually crazy.

Even if you do survive, you won’t be anywhere near your peak genetic capability. At most half way.

Nah it’s based on how much growth hormones ur body releases during purity, nothing else.

I know dead skinny malnourished bad diet mkfers who are 6’5+

It's a mix of both.

You need a balanced diet with the important micronutrients AND the right genes.

Poor diets can make a genetically tall person shorter by like 15-20 cm. Look up the average height of the Dutch in the 1800s and now. They grew by like 20 cm.

Somalis in Somalia may be shorter due to malnutrition. I am extremely tall but if i lived in Somalia i may not have been as tall as i am due to food insecurity. Look at the Koreas. South Koreans are much taller than North Koreans due to lack of food in the north, they are the same ethnicity.

Malnutrition will stunt growth

 

[Boogie]

I think under perfect conditions (equal nutrition) the list should look like this:

1. North Sudan (They got Nilotic juice)
2. Somalia
3. Djibouti (Afars are shorter than Somalis I think)
4. Levantines
5. Maghrebis
6. Egyptians
7. Gulf Arabs
8. Yemenis (lol, it is true they are short)

Hey we have ancient Nilotic juice

Somalis were much taller than the Dutch in 1880:

I think with my 194 cm I am the average for Somali males who grew up in the West.

Drink milk every day for breakfast and perhaps take a calcium supplement. This could give you an extra 4 cm.

Having a good diet will boast ur growth, today u can even take hgh injection during puberty and overcome your genetics

Yemenis and Indonesians are genetically short.

Somalis have the same height potential as Germanics.
