human IQ and height...

my cousin(16 yrs old gal) told me 2 days ago: 我又高了1cm 了 ^^。
me: 那你现在多高了？
cousin: 153 cm。
me: -.- ，那你mother多高？(ask this bcos i felt that children's height are somehow affected by either of their parents)
cousin: 我mother150 cm 叻。
me: -.-

i rem last time dunno frm where read tht average singapore gals is 156cm. then on second thot, its a bit low, so went to check it out, n this is wat Wikipedia gives:

guys: 173 cm
gals: 161 cm
age range: 17-25

so it seem tht my cousin's height is way below average. then something caught my eyes n click on tht link. the first line is:

A positive correlation exists between human IQ and height within populations.

wow... my above average from the above stat n this means... ermmm...
well, there's always 四肢发达，头脑简单 exist (which im definitely not). the above line is jus 断章取义, taken from here n can go n read it if u ar below average.

next 2 lines i know it long ago, but dun mind coding them down again from Wikipedia:

The greater reproductive success of taller men is attested to by studies indicating that taller men are more likely to be married and to have more children, except in societies with severe gender imbalances caused by war.

Conversely, studies have shown that women of below average height are more likely to be married and have children than women of above average height.

As usual, all these are debatable...
