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

[prime]

Damn you right I’m 5’7 and my bro 5’11/ 6ft

 

[African Peasant]

The Coli is really 6 ft heaven

 

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

This is not science or fact you idiots

I love how heated this discussion got you

 

[Marti]

I met an ex bf brother one time, he was 6'4. My ex was only 5'8

I was contemplating leaving him for his brother that day

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

pretty sure the answer is different dads

This caught me off guard

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

Funny how many 6 footers in this thread yet any other coli thread short nikkas fighting to validate their 5'7" stature


Anyway, this isn't some across the board shyt. My dad 6'4. His younger brother is maybe 5'10. My oldest brother 6'6", our middle brother 6'2".

Better prenatal care?

My cousin is an only child and his parents are 6'3 and 5'11 but he's only 6'1.5, you'd think he'd either surpass his pops or at least be the same height but nope. Now I'm wondering if a sibling of his would've been taller.

The wonder of DNA brehs.

Like Jordan being 6'6 while his parents average height. Jeremy Lin being 6'3 while his parents like 5'6.
Wilt Chamberlain over 7' while his parents average height.

Happens. Your tall DNA can come from your grandfather or someone who was tall in either family of your parents. Just like how brothers might have different heights.

That Similac from the 90's had PED's in it

 

[GhettoTeK]

Young nikkas get dem healthy genes I'm taller than both my siblings and I'm the youngest






On second thought not my older brother

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

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.

My baby brother got like 5 inches on me

momma was eating better
baby bro was eating better

this low key might be true. Was having a convo just yesterday about how the fam was struggling when I was little and how baby brother who is 15 years younger never experienced the struggle.

All he known was the good life since he been in the world

I look at him sometimes and how good he eats literally and figuratively

Lil fella was binging out on Netflix this weekend watching Stranger things plus DC superhero shows eating gourmet meals, downloading music at the same time

When I was his age, we had 5 channels and I had to use my boom box cassette recorder to try to catch my fave songs when they came on the radio and my sis reminded me that we had those WIC 5 in a pack crackers when we were little

This new generation honestly don't know the struggle

They don't have the weight of expectation on them

Heavy is the head that bears the crown

 

[Ukbrotha]

2 younger brothers at 6ft and youngest is 6ft 1.
