After I learned that my paternal grandfather had several crop failures during the Depression, I understood why - there wasn't always enough to eat.<br /><br />I've also noticed that many immigrant children from poor areas of the world are significantly taller and more muscular than their parents. I'm sure that diet and nutrition explain this as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265120836698023886.post-44493396311148767682018-03-25T23:05:32.633-04:002018-03-25T23:05:32.633-04:00The Turkish sultans we're giants ???

I know the Turkish sultans all started out as literal giants in the 15th and 16th centuries, even by today's standards, but after intermarrying with European women, they decreased in height as well. However, I don't know if the decrease was by the 18th century or later. SakiVIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11307981612840889634noreply@blogger.com
