there is a difference between stunted and being short. I am 5 feet five inches and yet my cousin is 6 feet. We all come from wealthy families. My father was a doctor who was the same height as me. Before the 20th century the average height of a European was around 5. 5 inches, even in the 19the century American settlers were short in comparison to the present generation as seen in the size of helmets to uniforms. Now Americans like Australians and Canadians are tall people, taller than even their European counter parts. Genes and environment have a lot to play in ones height.

The stature of humans are determined by nutrition/food over period of years from generation to generation. Now there is a problem in the developed world - the percentage of obesity in the populations is on the rise, due to excessive food intake.
