The trend in sports, though, may be obscuring an unrecognized reality: Americans have generally stopped growing. ③ Though typically about two inches taller now than 140 years ago, today’s people – especially those born to families who have lived in the . for many generations – apparently reached their limit in the early 1960s. And they aren‘t likely to get any taller. ―In the general population today, at this geic, environmental level, we‘ve pretty much gone as far as we can go,‖ says anthropologist William Cameron Chumlea of Wright State University. In the case of NBA players, their increase in height appears to result from the increasingly mon practice of recruiting players from all over the world. ④ Growth, which rarely continues beyond the age of 20, demands calories and nutrients – notably, protein – to feed expanding tissues. At the start of the 20th century, undernutrition and childhood infections got in the way. But as diet and health improved, children and adolescents have, on average, increased in height by about an inch and a half every 20 years, a pattern known as the secular trend in height. Yet according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, average height – 5′9″ for men, 5′4″ for women – hasn‘t really changed since 1960. Geically speaking, there are advantages to avoiding substantial height. During childbirth, larger babies have more difficulty passing through the birth canal. Moreover, even though humans have been upright for millions of years, our feet and back continue to struggle with bipedal posture and cannot easily withstand repeated strain imposed by oversize limbs. ―There are some real constraints that are set by the geic architecture of the individual anism,‖ says anthropologist William Leonard of Northwestern University. Geic maximums can change, but don‘t expect this to happen soon. ⑤ Claire C. Gordon, senior anthropologist at the Army Research Center in Natick, Mass., ensures that 90 percent of the uniforms and workstations fit recruits without alteration. She says that, unlike those for basketball, the length of military uniforms has not changed for some time. And if you need to predict human height in the near future to design a piece of equipment, Gordon says that by and large, ―you could use today‘s data and feel fairly confident.‖ 31.
