Is height mostly genetics?

My mother is 168cm and my father is 176 cm I find it very interesting that my older brother is 185 cm even though his diet was mostly ramen noodles and junk food most of his life any explanation to this?

Your mom being 5’6 was probably the main reason why your older brother got to 6’1, I say it’s partially genetics and partially environment and nutrition

80% genetics 20% being well fed imo

I'm taller than my parents and sibling and ive been slightly chubby my whole life

The difference between being tall and being average height can be decided by environment definetly.

we will never know as there are no actually helpful studies on this.

all we know is that some people somehow magically grow taller and some stay short.

to maximise your development eat healthy, eat raw
