Really gotta let go of that native American ancestry shyt. Mind you, my family had land disbursed to them(still have it, for now), on the dawes rolls and they STILL hated the tribes and even got offended if you mentioned their heritage. Seminoles may have treated their mixed race people better, but the other ones were down right despicable. My grandfather who was born in 1911, got to hear stories from his parents and grandparents on how the tribe treated them. From our conversations, I honestly believe he hated the natives more than whites

Some indigenous Americans, especially those living on the Plains, were taller than most human averages but that’s a function of their high protein diet.

West Africans aren’t tall, on average, because of their diet. But you’lll notice that their Western raised children are often towering over their parents.

And no, the Spanish Castilians were not 4’7 on average
:mjlol:

Franz Boas:

“He studied eight equestrian tribes of the Western Plains: the Assiniboine, Blackfeet, Crow, Sioux, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Kiowa, and Comanche. The average height of white men in the U.S. was about 5’6” (1,68 m) in the mid-1800s, and European men were slightly shorter. However, Boas found that the height of the average Cheyenne was a whopping 5’10” (1,78 m); the Arapaho about 5’9” (1,75 m); the Crow 5’8-1/2”; Sioux 5’8” (1,73 m) and the Blackfeet a fraction under the Sioux; the Kiowa were 5’7” (1,70 m) and the Assiniboine a fraction under the Kiowa. The Comanche were the shortest; they had the same average height as white men: 5’6” (1,68 m).


Haven’t found data with Franz Boas on Africans.


Many variables go into what causes height. And it can fluctuate, as we see in modern populations. The South Sudanese are the tallest people (on average).

The thing is most Black Americans don’t have admixture from Native Americans. And if so, it’s usually extremely low.

The tallest and shortest people are found in Africa, and theyre not far from each other distance wise.

His science is horrible

Lots of Senegalese(Michael Jordan, no dna needed lol) and Malians are tall

Multitude of Nigerians come tall also

Majority of West Africans in the northern half descend from the Sudanese who can come extremely tall.
