maybe the taller dudes got more pussy thus obtained more stds/aka genetic modding via insertion of mushroom tip in countless vaginas thus causing them to die a few years younger then little short falcons
ever thought of that?
Also figure in that the alleles for extreme height are spread so thin across the human population which means Height has not been a consideration for sexual selection or else extreme height would be more prevalent than it is.
Furthermore, height has been a detriment as someone who is taller needs more calories to fuel bigger organs which will eventually lead to cancer or heart disease. Historically, there was not enough food for someone of such height so they would have made a horrible addition to a group or a mate.
