>Women are almost always shorter than men. Now scientists argue that it's because girls get less food and poorer opportunities to grow.
Around the world, women are on average shorter than men. Pure biological suggests that it should be the opposite, that is, women should be bigger than men. Honors that give you can benefit from large fat reserves, and the planet's very greatest creature is not just a blue whale, but a blue-whale's female . If women were generally larger, the risks associated with childbirth would also decrease. In many developing countries, complications associated with childbirth are the most common cause of death among women. And those who suffer the hardest are small-grown women with small pelvis, which in turn is more common where there is a nutritional deficiency.

>Boys get more food
>New theories suggest that power balance and discrimination are behind the length differences. According to several researchers, we unconsciously give boys more food than girls, which means that the length difference between the sexes can last for generations.

>"I would argue that there is no society but some form of dominance. It is unbelievable that we have not discovered this before, "says anthropologist Paola Tabet.

>We are so used to men being longer than women that most of us hardly reflect on why that's the case. But on closer reflection, the difference in length is something of a mystery. The scientific documentary "Therefore, women are shorter than men" appear in the world of science tonight, and it explores a variety of explanatory models.

Sexual dimorphism. It's just the way we developed as a species for some reason. If it. Akes you feel better you can practice transpecism and become a whale (females are bigger) or become a tape worm where there is literally no sex/ gender because they are hermphrodites.

If evolution had stalled our intelligence at the stone age permanently, human females would have evolved into dwarfish sexually mature children with freakishly huge pelvises and breasts.

Our most recent "natural" niches had young males as endurance predators, old males as harem guards, young females as gatherers and old females as babysitters.

Evolution continues beyond sapience, but in new directions. Females are no longer moving toward a smaller, less energy using form relative to the male.
Whether females will become larger, males become smaller, or both stay mostly the same in the millennia to come is difficult to say.

I feel it most likely that we'll take direct control of our evolution through either genetic engineering or eugenics or both, and rapidly diverge into multitudes of species and subspecies of all shapes and size.

Because women go through puberty earlier so puberty and thus vertical growth end sooner.

Going through puberty earlier doesn't mean they grow less in the puberty stage, or that they spend less time than men in puberty

But if the growth stage starts earlier, they spend the same amount of time in the growth stage, so your explanation doesn't work.

The end of puberty ends vertical growth.
Girls, on average, start puberty earlier but it does't last longer than in boys. So puberty ends earlier for them. So boys, in the long run, end up taller since they stop growing later in life.
