then why are men taller than women?

i read her story when i was small, its a comic book , i love that book

yes, it make sense to me

tall is attractive??

gene?more sport? let's cherry to tell us

Yeah
You can't prove at all

That's why it's funny
It's up to your imagination at all
You use the result to prove the reason

Have you heard of a theory ( starting with A...can't spell it at all )
That, why proton is that heavy
why the gravitational constant is that
why the light speed is that
etc etc

The answer is
It's because there are human beings here to observe those parameters
if they are not like what they observed/measured
The world would be different and there will be no human to observe/measure and think about the reason behind
So, those parameters are what they are due to the existence of humen

It's pretty similar, use the result to argue the reasoning

i think i only went to the pantheon in rome but not paris.....

Physical ability isn't that obvious?

Taller => longer arms => more torque =.=
You need a larger body for muscle support i guess

Also, you know, there is a interesting phenomonon
There are two kind of societies if I divide into 父系 and 母系

If it's 父系 like monkey/lions/human etc, male is larger than female
and usually 1 male will have a lot of female partners

If it's in 母系, female is larger in bodies like mantis, black widow, etc

In this theory, there is something you may be misled

Evolution will somehow kick away the bad factors but not all

Have you thought about why we have 5 fingers but not 6 fingers?
Something, bad, or useless/meaningless things can be passed to next generation as well.

Perhaps, you know, it's initial the case that male is larger than female and it leads to 父系 society now ( at least, in the ancient world )
