Is this a lie when they say smart people are taller?

[jennifer_bloom]

The smartest men I know tend to be 5”7 or 5”5 or 5”4.

An example is that Chinese People and Jewish people have correlated high academic performance as double collective demographic clusters in multi cultural societies and they tend to be shorter than other groups in America and Canada.

It might be that your brain is more metabolically efficient if your body is smaller because there is less mass that your veins to need pump through.

Depends on what you call smart. I dont think thats true. People can be tall and still dumb

Not at all true

White people tend to have the highest amount of geniuses and also tend to be taller on average when compared to other races. So the people that are outliers when it comes to IQ are often taller than other people. That's not to say the taller you get, the more your IQ goes up. It's just that the critical mass of intelligence has been in Europe and America in the current era, thus the gene pool for exceptional intelligence is concentrated in certain areas where Whites are the dominate race. Not all Whites have high IQs, but more outliers tend to come from countries that are predominately White. For example my two brothers have IQs roughly around 130-135 and are 6'4" and 6'5" in height and I have an IQ of 158 and am 6'3". We are all taller than the average population, we're all White genetically from the USA which is the most advanced nation on the planet, but the tallest of the siblings is probably the lowest in IQ and the shortest is the highest in IQ even though there is only a 2" variation.

Personally, I don't think that height has anything to do with being smart.
Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, and Leonardo Da Vinci were all very smart, but they weren't that tall.
