From a genetic standpoint it kind of makes sense. From what I've observed however I would have to disagree.

According to some research, the underlying causal relationship for both is health.

Short people can fit more comfortably in affordable cars, can enjoy leg room even in the cheapest airplane seats, and require less food to sustain themselves. Short is efficient. Efficient is smart.

[QUOTE="Lastemperor28"]Asians (tis a joke)

Asians Head is slightly bigger than other races when it come to body percentage. Look at the japanese kids, their favourite school subject is recess but yet they grow up to be inteligent than most people in the west. The jews and the chinese are smart people too without trying harder. For me, I may not in above race mention and slightly smart among the dumb hahaha

Maybe it has something to do with their heads being up higher and exposed to better oxygen?

Or maybe it's not that tall people are smarter but that smart people are taller because they figure out ways to cheat on their hight (putting on two pairs of socks. stretching themselves etc.).

That sounds about right, I'm short in my group and probably one of the dumbest. Although I probably have the best common sense.

I don't think tall people are necessarily more intelligent. However, taller people have obvious advantages in life. That is a fairly accepted sociological fact. Being a tall person myself, I can say it rocks. Short people are missing out.

What about average height people? I'm 1,76, and I'm glad I'm not some 1,93 bloke. I've seen how they suffer due to the height of a car's roof, in airplanes, public transportation and how they're overall clumsy.

I disagree with the theory, though, as it makes no sense.

I'm not so sure. I have known plenty of tall people who are complete idiots. Though I do know it to be true that the average CEO tends to be much taller than the average height.

That's alright height for a girl. Small girls are alright though (and usually cuter). Guys have more of an evolutionary desire to bebig. It's what we do. Whether we are big through height or through physical appearance, most guys crave size.

That's why you see a lot of short guys with too much muscle mass.
