You're kinda right, there's some Somalis that are pretty short, but for the most part we're pretty tall, especially compared to other Africans (except Sudanese)

It depends on who you compare them to. If you compare normal Africans in Africa to normal Somalis in Somalia; then Somalis would be considered tall. Only a handful of other Africans would be considered taller

However, if you compare them to developed well feed Western countries than Somalis are normal. However, you should look at the second generations of Somalis. Born and breed in the West, I serious to say their average height would be 180cm, there are some giants out there now

You guys do know that nutrition and diets only make 30 percent or less of your potential adult height? If wars and famines influenced height, then most of us would have been pygmies by now.
