Being tall can come with a few of benefits…they’re faster runners, see more at gigs, can reach the top shelf and have the innate ability to pull off jumpsuits. Now, anthropologists are saying that, on average, tall people even earn more than short people. Can you believe it? 在这个“以貌取人”的时代，悲催的事情却远不止于此。有人类学家研究指出人们的收入与身高挂上钩，高个子的收入普遍比矮个子的收入高。你相信吗？ Heyang: So What does the research say? And is it true that taller people just earn more ? Mark : Well, it’s kind of old of saying, this is known for some time, and i think yes it’s true, this is been an well established that taller people earn more than shorter people, but they don’t earn more because they are taller or shorter, in my opinion, this goes probably weight back to when their children fighting at school or something like that,obviously, people that had a height advantage might be bigger people therefore stronger, therefore maybe dominated the other kids more, therefore maybe develop some skills like leaderships or always be chosen or gain more respect, and therefore their whole development just to the accident of being a couple of three centimeters just taller, the whole development might give them advantages, social advantages which we don’t even see developing. So at the ends up, they already have the advantage just position, yes, it was because their height advantage when they are small, but it’s lot of the other things that happen along the way. Luoyu: Yea, from the evolution perspective, a lot of anthropologist said so because of human being evolve as species and still living struggles on the plain many people are scabbed down the good leaders of those tall people they consider them to be intelligent and to the persons having leadership skills, probably, and now, i think, even nowadays, society, now is operating following of this sym pattern. Mark : Let me just quickly say that it’s interesting what you say about in ancient time, they would be on the grassland, for example, and a tall person had the advantage. Well a tall person could see an enemy coming more sooner than shorted people could be (that’s true , they could ) and therefore that’s why it would make them the leader, because they can see dangers before anyone else can, i mean, say for example, there are someone as tall, Yao Ming, that person might find himself not just because their physical presence, their shear size, but because they could see when there was enemy coming before anybody else could, they could assume the leadership position, they could just take the leadership position, and couldn’t they ? Heyang: But if, let’s just say two tribes or let’s say an animal and this tribal people are so of at war, you know, at each others’ throws, and when a person like Yao Ming, be too big to hide and wouldn’t he be a bigger target so as beat? But anyways, it seems evolution has determined that taller people are just in a more advantage position, Luoyu: But I want to say here that , well, there is al large probability it’s been a large probability if you are tall, you have a large probability to earn more, but there are no other causal effect that since you are tall, you can earn more... Mark: I think it’s kind of culture it depends, because if you look at some African countries like Rwanda, you have the tip tribe, very very tall people, but if you compare all the Dutch, actually, the Dutch very very tall people , generally, but if you compare perhaps their income with shorter Americans, well ,for example, you probably find they are earning less, so depends on culture too. Heyang: yea it depends on culture and think about the shorter people that have fewer healthy shoes living longer and getting to sit on taller people shoulders at festivals, that sound like a major advantage. A small consolation perhaps but no less powerful for it.
