	Human
		Human beings are commonly referred to individually as persons or people and collectively as man, mankind, humanity, or the human race, while humans is used both for the collective and for individuals.
		Humans have the highest brain to body mass ratio of all large animals (Dolphins have the second highest; sharks have the highest for a fish; and octopuses have the highest for an invertebrate).
		The closest surviving animal to humans is the chimpanzee; the second closest the gorilla and the third the orangutan.

	The New Atlantis - A Journal of Technology and Society
		Height enhancement is more like facelifts, breast augmentation, and liposuction in the sense that it will not pass down to the children of those who are treated.
		While the decision to pursue height enhancement is driven by the desire to help one’s child flourish, the aspiration for taller offspring conveys dissatisfaction with the healthy child’s normal capacity for growth.
		Even though the parental motivation for height enhancement is to avoid the disadvantages of their child’s shortness, the attempt to modify the child’s non-disabling trait nevertheless feeds the child’s worry that his parents find him flawed and deficient.

		Height is also attained from growth of the spine, and conversely to women's longer leg ratio, men have a longer torso ratio.
		, or stature, is the height of a human being.
		Height generally varies little between people compared to other anthropometric measures, usually exceptional height (variance from the average of around 20%) is due to gigantism or dwarfism, but height normally falls within a certain range known as a normal distribution (bell curve).

	Human - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Human children are born after a nine-month gestation period, and are typically 3–4 kilograms (6–9 pounds) in weight and 50–60 centimeters (20–24 inches) in height in developed countries.
		Human evolution is characterized by a number of important physiological trends, including the expansion of the brain cavity and brain itself, which is typically 1,400 cm³ in volume, over twice that of a chimpanzee or gorilla.
		Humanism is a philosophy which defines a socio-political doctrine the bounds of which are not constrained by those of locally developed cultures, but which seeks to include all of humanity and all issues common to human beings.

		The study of human growth is known as auxology.
		The remainder of height consists of the cranium.
		The reasons for this association appear to include that height serves as a biomarker of nutritional status or general mental and physical health during development, that common genetic factors may influence both height and intelligence, and that both height and intelligence are affected by adverse early environmental exposures.

	Scientists find 'fingerprint' of human activities in recent tropopause height changes
		Earlier research has shown that increases in the height of the tropopause over the past two decades are directly linked to stratospheric ozone depletion and increased greenhouse gases.
		Smaller tropopause height increases over the first half of the 20th century are largely caused by natural variations in volcanic aerosols and solar irradiance.
		The model results reveal the key drivers of recent tropopause height increases -- human-caused changes in well-mixed greenhouse gases and stratospheric ozone -- act primarily through warming of the troposphere (greenhouse gases) and cooling of the lower stratosphere (ozone).

	Grow Taller - Yes you can grow taller & increase your health naturally!
		Intensive scientific research also proved that most young adults can still have three different types of growth to increase their height by a few more inches even after the bones in their lower body have become ossified (commonly known as "bone plate is fused").
		This is because besides the length of the femur bone (thighbone), shinbone, and other bones in the lower body, the length of the spinal column in the upper body also significantly contributes to human height (about 35% of the total height).
		Human spinal column consists of 33 separate bone segments known as vertebrae held together by ligaments (tough and fibrous tissue).

		We learned in the previous section that there are individual differences in human characteristics and that these follow a normal distribution.
		You may have heard the expression "to design for the 5th percentile female to the 95th percentile male." This means that for the selected anthropometric measure, such as height, the lower limit of our range is the height of a 5th percentile female and the upper limit is the height of a 95th percentile male.

		Height levels have also gone up and down during the centuries, depending on conditions--famines and so on.
		Height is an adaptation towards hot climates; very hot, on Earth, seems to evolve a preference for tall, thin people with smaller heads and long limbs--skin color is optional.
		According to another theory (Punctuated Equilibrium), the height change could happen rapidly, but it would involve an isolated population under extreme stress--a stress so bad that only the very tall survived long enough to create offspring and all the shorties died.

	Don't Want No Short Short Man!!: Human Height Variation
		Height demonstrates this, and vice-versa with women (we do not claim, of course, that these are necessarily the conscious thoughts people have, but they can hold true nonetheless).
		This is an interesting aspect of height, because though society says height is good as far as power, respect, intelligence, etc., society says that women should be shorter for their male counterparts.
		If height yields power, money and status, then it makes sense that the trait which causes a person to receive these rewards would be passed on evolutionarily.

	Gene Expression: On height
		On the one hand, Masai genes might truly favor allocating nutrition to increased height (for better cooling), strength, and quick reflexes (for going after lions with spears), while Chinese genes may restrict bodily development to feed the brain sufficiently for the abstract thinking that is needed by merchants and mandarins.
		Probably there is also a maximum height and a target body form set by genetics, and this can vary to adapt populations to extreme conditions.
		It's also pertinent to note that height discrimination does apply to women as much as to men - however, because of the inferior social status generally conferred on women (even today) it has less of an impact on their lives - i.e.

		Increases in endogenous human Growth Hormone (hGH) secretion by the anterior pituitary in conjunction with Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH); that is, both Alpha-GPC and GHRH act concertedly to stimulate the release of hGH, naturally;
		Alpha-GPC's cognitive and growth hormone (GH) enhancing effects appear to be primarily the result of stimulation of the cholinergic neurotransmitter system; however, other biochemically-related modulations and neurotransmitter systems have been implicated.
		In clinical situations, significantly reduced secretion of hGH is associated with short stature, generalized muscle wasting, Andropause, anxiety, undesirable mood and affect changes which are often associated with depression, abnormal sleep patterns, loss of energy and stamina, and decreased cellular and humoral (antibody) immune functions leading to increased susceptibility to disease.
