I don't wholly buy it, you see those videos of impoverished people around the world and they don't look short when compared with the reporter/presenter. And these would be peoples that have been malnourished for generations. But I do understand the whole protein thing and realise it probably is the most likely cause.Actually the data on averages does back it up strongly: South Korean people average a fair bit taller than North Koreans for example. There are of course other genetic factors, but between groups with similar genes certainly height can vary a lot with nutrition and nurture (and height genes probably haven't been changing as radically within the last few thousand years as diet).
