Amsterdam is full of Randstad manlets. Go to the north, e.g. Groningen or Leeuwarden.

Same reason latvians are tall.
Long people aren't adapted to living in regions that have hills or mountains. The high center of gravity makes sure they trip, fall and die rolling down. It's science. Also, lol at amsterdam in the captcha.

Nothing specifically.
Naturally it's very annoying to have your capital dominated by foreigners.
And of course, Arabs tend to be Muslim. Or Maghrebi. Or both.

How do you explain Dinaric people being taller than Latvians and the Dutch, though? Dinarides are a mountain range.
>>
>>60960312
my history teacher explained it as such:

the Netherlands became protestant pretty early on, which gave them more freedom on choosing their partners. Which then results in only the best seed being able to reproduce.

While in for example Belgium, the system of marriage was more conservative. The parents choose who ever they want, and the manlets would get laid.

Don't know if this is true though.

The Netherlands has a higher height average because Dutch women are all transsexual men

Can confirm

Seriously though OP: I believe the answer is quite simple: Dutch people have enjoyed a very high standard of food and medical care. This leads to growth.
I'm 1.95m and feel just the slightest bit tall

> capital
I've never understood why Amsterdam is widely understood to be your capital if the entire Dutch government and even the royal family resides in Den Haag.
I get why it was determined as an "important city" in the constitution, being the international centre of trade and by far the most important Dutch city and all.
But labelling it as the capital even though all that happens there concerning the government is when a new King/Queen is coronated, the State Generals decide to have one single meeting there once in several decades?
That's just as if the US decided "Yeah man, New York totally is our capital and all, because it's like, really important and cool" even though the White House, the Capitol and the Supreme Court were still in Washington DC.

I just love the fact that every theory proposed so far to explain why the dutch are so tall is made invalid just by the fact we exist, we being the nations of former Yugoslavia.

Only people in lowlands are tall. Literally 80% are mountains here

Good medical and high standards
Nope

Non conservative
We're pretty conservative

The most important element of height is low gonadal hormones. High test and high est don't necessarily make you short, but if your balls drop early enough then you become short. This is why countries with high fertility are generally populated by short people. In theory, you can easily get 7'+ tall people by delaying their puberty long enough.

Though sometimes people produce a shitload of hgh. Growth has a very small resource cost, and nutrition is important insofaras to not be malnourished or catch diseases

>>60963203
Yeah why are them fuckers so tall, isn't average height like 194cm or something, also aren't Dinaric Alps mainly inhabited by south Slavs and other slavs usually come in at about 183cm average or so

Your ability to have access to quality food is almost the same, if not probably less-so than my access to food. However, tell me how you can be like 1.97m and I'm 1.78m? We don't live in the middle ages. Your explaination for the discrepency is terrible.
