[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid was born off the chart and not on the chart a day in his life. 99+ percentile. He’s 6-6. We are tall. Your own heights and particularly mother’s height are biggest predictor. If mom is short or around average even with tall dad it’s a crap shoot.[/quote] Is this based on evidence? IndonMt remember ever learning that mom’s height is more important than dad’s height to determine height of future offsprings[/quote] It’s common sense. Tall women usually (not always) marry tall men. Two tall people=tall kids. Nearly always but yes exceptions. Tall guy + short woman means more short genes in the mix. Can be a mix. At the end of the day they are a product of their DNA. That is why there are formulas for height based on parental height. Do the math with a tall mom and dad vs a tall dad and short mom. There will always be outliers of course.[/quote]
