[quote=Anonymous]There is regression to the mean, so a tall mother might have a shorter son. There is a formula that pediatricians use to guess adult height, and it does vary by gender. I think with boys it's the average of father's height and mother's height plus 2 inches and with girls it's the average of mother's height and father's height minus 2 inches. So two 6 feet parents would be projected to have a 6'1" son and a 5'11" daughter.[/quote]
