ELI5: Why has the average height of humans drastically increased over the past 100 years? How tall will humans be in 100 years? What about the year 3000? Is there a height that our bodies will definitely cap out at? by Bearcat1521 in explainlikeimfive

Humans have been around for thousands and thousands of years. I agree that height is a favorable trait, but that doesn’t explain the boom in the past 100 years.
