I’m 6’2”, My son is 6’2”, My Father was 6’2”, evolutionary dead end, no growth in almost a hundred years.

The assumption that current conditions will persist thousands of years into the future is naive at best.
“Good” nutrition leads to height gains but suddenly becomes “bad” when the society shifts toward the sedentary. Tribalism is subsidized, rewarded and encouraged, yet racial characteristics are envisioned as fading.
Not to leave the feminists out of this pc futurist fantasy, men's testicles are envisioned as shrinking when the rationale for larger testicles has been promiscuity for as long as I can remember.
How about shrinking ovaries and fewer eggs since such a large swath of the female population is constantly tricking their bodies into false pregnancy in order to avoid conception? How about decreased natural estrogen production among females for the same reason?
Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, and vice versa.

It is a translation of my name from the Middle English, I am hoping my Grandsons break the barrier, though I doubt it. One of the problems of having a Scots Irish, Irish, English, Polish and Lithuanian heritage is that my Grandsons may look like the Minotaur rather than Theseus.

The average American is one inch taller than in 1960?
I guess in my family we are all above average. My siblings and I are all much more than one inch taller than we were in 1960.

These eople can’t predict the shape of the pizza they ordered.
If the SHTF and society regresses to primitive states, we could see humans shrink and stuff

“more wrinkles, fewer teeth”
I’ve got those now since I had cancer.
I never had a cavity in my life until I was 72 and got lung cancer but my mouth all of a sudden rotted out.
I think the wrinkles are natural @ 75!

Substitute Romanian and Cree Indian for the Polish and Lithuanian and you've just described my family tree as well. My guys range from 14-29, and I can assure you, eventually most of the bull-headed traits disappear.
