Are American getting taller?

Are American getting taller?
Yes. Humans are evolving to be taller and more hairless.
I've been to castles in France from the 15th century where the doorways were all around 5'7". A french king once died of complications after bumping his head in the doorway.
They seem to be.
I'm 3 1/2 inches taller than my Mother. She's 3 1/2 inches taller than my Grandmother (her Mother).
It sure looks that way! I'm average height, and I'm at least 6" shorter than the 7th grade girls in my son's school. It's just freaky!
The tallest people on Earth are the Watusi Tribe of Africa. The shortest people on Earth are the Pygmy Tribe also of Africa. As a matter of fact, from what I studied in anatomy; Americans are not getting taller. The evidence does show that people are becoming broader with an increase in obesity. Remember that George Washington was 6'5" and Abraham Lincoln was 6'4'. There have always been tall people - just look at Goliath from biblical times who was 7'6". Now people are being seen with less hair; not due to the lie of Evolution but due to the look of the latest fashion trend to shave your head and your groin - OUCH!
