It's crazy how much smaller people were back then.
Yeah. It's because of improvements in agriculture. It made food cheaper, and people got taller.
Yes, I heard our size and population doubled every two years. It's called Morsel's law iirc.
Seems to have plateaud out now though.
Also don't forget the effects of thermal expansion brought on by global warming.
