Sometimes your different than what most of your family are and that's how it is.

Answer 3

Height depends partly on genes and partly on environment and sound nutrition.  The tallest Europeans, for example, live where the weather is cold but not frigid: Iceland, Scotland, Scandinavia, the east Baltic, and the Balkans.  However, in extremely cold climates, long legs loose radiate heat.  Bergman's Law states that within a species, animals living in colder climates tend to be larger and heavier.   Of course, this really doesn't explain really tall African American basketball players.

Why everyone else in your family is small is one of those mysteries--since height varies within a family. Are you the oldest son?  Older sons are ordinarily taller than their younger brothers.

Answer 4
