Average height for a Somali male/female

Post by Oxidant »

I remember reading a while ago; the average Somali height for a male was 5’9. Somalis are usually medium or tall.

Anyone who claims Somalis are on a average are 6'1/185cm isn't living within reality. We would then be considered one of the tallest people on the planet

Nabeela, For a women it isn't, do you know that the average height of women in the UK is 5'4.

Dawwa, I guess countries like germany, poland and scandinavia are the tallest you just have to look at their athletes.

This could very well be if they only measured Ogadenis and Hartis.

All the others bring down the average.
