Why are younger brothers on average taller than the elder brother?

[Axolotl]

My younger brother is 6'3. I'm the Shortest, but you cant usually tell unless were standing close to you.

All of my friends are the same, the youngest out of 2 siblings being the tallest.

And i'm sure many more cases out there.

this wouldn't surprise if it's actually true, families are better established I suspect when parents have second and third kids

Being the youngest its due to nature blessing is after having to endure the hardship of the youngest brother. All those wedgies, beating us up, bossing around. Nature was like

Can’t relate, I’m the eldest for my parents and tallest. I’m 6’4, my younger bro (19) is 6’ and my baby brother (17) is like 5’8. They could still have growth spurts but that ain’t happening

Our older half brother is like 5’6
