Same with the Andes -- short people. Seems like it's safer to be short on a mountain: to be closer to the ground, less energy exerted, more oxygen conserved. I'm just spitballin'. Curious about the Scandanavian tallness though. Maybe it's to bring them closer to the Sun? lol

Hello, anthropologist here! Typically, native populations of very high altitudes are very short and broad. The taller a person is, the more oxygen and heat is lost. So natives of mountainous regions grow shorter than average literally just so they can live at the top of mountains and not die due to hypothermia or asphyxiation

An interesting fact about proportionate dwarfism, nowadays seeing adults who visibly have the condition is it pretty rare in most of the developed world. This is because, by my understanding, the most common cause is an inadequate amount of growth hormone from the pituitary gland during childhood. With modern medicine, children with this condition can now take growth hormone supplements and so tend to grow to more average heights.

my ex has primordial dwarfism. she's 3 ft 8. i'm 5ft8 so that was fun. so many complications you never even think about until you snag you a gal under 4 foot. she was a real trooper about it, didnt wanna be treated "disabled" or anything but the list of issues went on forever. seatbelts dont fit right, she cant reach the shower head to adjust it, has to buy kids clothes and shoes and that just pissed her off royally. she couldnt go with me and friends on vacation one time because it was to a theme park and she cant ride anything. concerts are a danger because she's get trampled. she cant drive because she cant reach the pedals or see the road and disability programs for car mods for little people is a fucking joke. you have to pay the bill for the car and the modifications, and THEN get a license and IF you get it they reimburse you for the cost. go USA. she played drums...so custom built drumset. she was a legit chef so that means a kitchen with multiple stepladders and a set of custom cutlery, freezer on the floor because anything on a top-freezer isnt reachable. just tons an tons of adjustments. now i'm not gonna lie there are some pros to it as well but those mostly just revolved around dating, definitely not the job market.
