Looks like the immigrants from Latin America are keeping us down. Thanks a lot, Latin America.

This map shows the distribution of the world's height, according to research published in eLife.

Researchers found that Dutch men, at 182.5 centimeters (about 6 feet), and Latvian women, at 170 centimeters (5 feet 7 inches), are the tallest in the world .

Men from Timor-Leste, at 160 centimeters (5 feet 3 inches), and Guatemalan women, at 149 centimeters (4 feet 11 inches), are considered the shortest.

That was part of my mission. We never had missionaries there. Closest would have been in Rivière du Loup.

If you are referring to to the location in Maine, then my brother served there for a while on his mission. If not, then I don't know your new favorite.

It’s a humbling thing to behold. All the eukaryotes, from humans to flowers to amoebae, fit on a slender twig. The new study supported previous findings that eukaryotes and archaea are closely related. But overshadowing those lineages is a sprawling menagerie of bacteria.
