People are getting taller because of natural selection.

Alivia said...

Scientists say that it may not be because of evolution and it could just be because of childhood nutrition.

I think that humans are getting taller because of evolution.

I don't think that people are getting taller because of evolution I think it is something else.

kale said...

they're getting taller because of evolution.

Elliot Bouchard said...

Better nutrition at a younger age helped humans become taller over time.

Emily Martin said...

Scientists say it might not be from evolution it might just be from kid hood nutrition.

i think we are getting taller not because of evolution, but because wealthy people get a lot of nutrients and grow bigger than their parents and the chain keeps on going.

taylor said...

I don't believe people are becoming taller because of evolution, they are simply becoming taller because of the nutrients increase over the years.

Lindsey said...

I do not believe people are getting taller because of evolution, I do perhaps believe though that if two people reproduce that are tall that the chance of the child they have being tall or taller then them is very likely while as if compared to a person that is short and one that is tall reproduce may have a less likely chance that the child will be tall or taller. This has to do with Natural selection.

Its not about evolution, its about their nutrition.

JAWS😹 & BAYLIE😜 said...

JAWS: People are getting taller because of evolution, yes, and its because over the last 150 years people started getting four inches taller than normal and that lead to now-a-day where some people are seven feet tall....!!!!

BAYLIE: i think why people are getting taller is because of evolution because every year a person can grow at least 4 inches tall wich can go to us getting taller because evolution

blaze said...

its from evolution because our genetic blueprint is changing.

Isabella S. said...

People are getting taller because of childhood nutrition instead of evolution.

William Travis said...

Most geneticists believe that the improvement in childhood nutrition has been the most important factor in allowing humans to increase so dramatically in height.

I think that people are getting taller because of something else that isn't evolution.

Abbie B. said...

People are most likely not getting taller because of evolution. Evolution takes much more time than how long it has been taken for average heights to increase, and many other factors may be playing a role.

Bridget T said...

I think people are getting taller because of evolution because they are getting genes passed down from their parents because it is helpful to be tall.

Delia said...

People are getting taller because of their genes from their parents.

i think that people are getting taller because of evolution because the hight trait has been passed down and people are getting taller when they are born and the trait just keeps getting passed down and passed down.

People are getting taller over time due to Evolution because your traits get passed down to your offspring.

hayden said...

i think that humans are getting taller because of nutrients that they eat when they are kids.

Abbey said...

People may be getting taller because of the nutrients they eat when they are a kid.

Hunter Murphy said...

People are getting taller because of evolution Since they are getting taller then the people in the 19 and 18 century.

Meghan said...

from what i've read it looks like there are many factors that have contributed towards the growth in the height average, one example being nourishment in adolescence.

Julia Ryan said...

I think it is something else because people are eating the nutrients as kids and that is resulting in them as being taller.

Aiden R. said...

people growing because what they eat.

Tyler L. said...

Something else: genetics not evolution

dom said...

No people are getting tall by neutrition.

The reason for humans growing taller as a species is better nutrition.

Dylan .l said...

people are geting taller because of nutriton un less they have a medical dissorder

Ava-Mae Hymer said...

These 2 studies seem to agree that humans are getting taller because of the access to food we have. Over the years, many countries have gotten access to food a lot easier than they used to, which is helping people grow! Nutrition is important, kids.

Stella Wyman said...

I feel people have definitely gotten taller since the example of the 1800s and such, but now in this day, age and time I think height really depends on health and genes mostly.

Anonymous said...

people are getting taller because its a gene they get from there parents not from evoulution.

Fiona M. said...

I think people getting taller depends on your health, early-life experiences, length of life, education, and how much you get paid. It might even depend on how much you worry, such as being in debt.

Kaitlyn said...

A lot of humans are getting taller because of good sources of nutrition. Back in the 1800s many people lacked nutrition and were short.

eThAN KaNE said...

People are getting taller because of the environment and inheritance.

Allie Nichols said...

I think getting taller is from your genes.

The human species haven't been getting taller as the result of evolution, they have be getting taller because of the improvement of the nutrition of children.

I think it is because of evolution

Jayden said...

people are getting taller because traits are being passed down.

Dominick said...

People are getting taller because of natural selection.

Carson R. said...

Something else because they are getting taller because of natural selection not evolution.

Allie D. said...

I think that people are getting taller due to genetic traits being passed down.

We are getting taller from natural selection.

Paul Bellonzi said...

People are getting taller by something else.

Kaylah Swan said...

I think people are getting taller because of evolution. I think this because when we evolved from monkeys we gradually got taller.

Anonymous said...

Yes, people are getting taller from evolution. People are evolving over time and some think its because of nutrients.

Luke R said...

I think its not evolution and its about the environment and
the way they live depends on how tall they are going to be

people are getting taller because of the food that they eat.

Madisyn Metayer said...

We all are getting taller cause of evolution.

I think it is a genetic trait, like if someones mom is short and their dad is tall and the kid is short then their could be a possibility that the kids kid's could be tall or short.
