Taking a distant wife will give birth to a high child

If parents are born in the same place, their children will average lower than the children of parents born and raised in remote geographies, research by the Polish team of scientists confirms.

Human height is determined by many factors, including the height of the parents and the socio-economic status of the parents, because the richer people are more likely to have good child care conditions. than.

Previous studies have contradicted evidence of the impact of parental birth place on the height of the child.

Danel and his colleagues at the Institute of Anthropology at the Polish Academy of Sciences used the anthropological height data of 2,675 men and 2,603 ​​women in Poland, which were measured annually in schools. The researchers also took information about their parents' height and their family income levels.

The results indicate, 'this effect is visible in children among the 3 adult stages analyzed, from 6 to 18 years old,' DanScience quoted Danel.

Of course, the two factors of parents' height and family income play a clear role in the height of their children, but scientists also find that the geographical distance of the marriage affects 20% height mutations in male children and 14% height mutations in female children.

Researchers believe that the reason is genetic. Because people who are near each other tend to have more genetic similarities, even in today's globalized world when people migrate very flexibly.Two people are born far apart, so there will be many genetic differences, which can produce many dominant genes in the child.
