( Human height)
Human height, or how tall people become, generally varies little between people compared to other anthropometric measures. Exceptional height variation (around 20% deviation from average) is usually due to gigantism or dwarfism. Adult height for one sex in a particular ethnic group follows more or less a normal distribution. At 2.57 metres (8 ft 5.5 in), Leonid Stadnyk is the world's tallest living man and is from Ukraine. The tallest man in modern history was Robert Pershing Wadlow from Alton, Illinois, who was born in 1918 and stood 8 ft 11.1 inches (2.72 m) at the time of his death in 1940. Below are average adult heights by country. (The original studies and sources should be consulted for details on methodology and the exact populations measured, surveyed, or considered.) &_160;
