Well, there really IS a good reason. On the average, people of long ago, especially thousands of years ago were fairly short as compared to people of today. The reason being, people didn't have great nutrition back then. Many people went days without eating, plus the poor had little sustenance. Think about today, and how we even have pre-natal vitamins. I think most kids remember taking the Flintsones vitamins. Most of us eat three good meals a day... or at least two. With a lack of food and vitamins, people were just smaller. My history teacher was in a replica of one of the ships that brought the pilgrims to America. He couldn't believe how SMALL everything was... how low the ceilings were. It was because people were just shorter. The same thing would happen if you took two plants. One you placed in the window and fed it miracle grow. The other you place in your closet and water occasionally. The bigger and healthier plant will be the one getting the most sunshine and the most nutrients. It's the same with people. Actually, the odd ones are like Carlisle, who is over six feet tall. That was EXTREMELY tall for back then. So, the Romanians were of average height for the time in which they were alive.
