Is it normal i noticed that the human head size is shrinking?

If you look at young adults today, I’ve noticed most have much smaller craniums than previous generations; they also are shorter in overall height. Why is this?

    This can be directly attributed to an increase the nutritional quality of food in the last one hundred years as well as improving standards of healthcare & in the range & quality again of pharmaceutical drugs available.

    This of course explains your observation of a generation of pin headed shortarse kids.

      If anything it's the quality of food that is decreasing.

          Try to give people a false sense of reality

          A false sense of 'everything is alright'

          Why not give people the truth about their food instead of a illusion?

          Make people blind to the truth so they wont know they're getting disease, viruses, problems and cancer.

          Theres good food out there. But theres more crap than good. That is truth.

          Just know the truth about the food you're putting into your body. No need to ignore the truth.

    Sorry, my friend. Your sample needs a standard deviation so that Statisticians like me can check your confidence interval with a Chi-Square comparison to other datasets.

    The average american skull has grown a third of an inch between 1825 and 1985 (when the study ended), mostly in height but also in width. This doesn't indicate a change in intelligence.

    It's thought that the change in the food supply has caused that change. Others propose the rise of technology has caused an increase in the importance of intellect in breeding opportunity.

          Well during the war many countries faced malnutrition, causing the average height to decrease.

    humans planetwide eat 33 percent more calories than in 1960. type two diabetes one time rare in the young has soared globally to 20 percent of all humans. this will be the first generation with a shorter life span than our parents. The bad news is that average life expectancy for people with diabetes is shorter than people without diabetes. ... People with type 1 diabetes, on average, have shorter life expectancy by about 20 years. People with type 2 diabetes, on average, have shorter life expectancy by about 10 years. governments allow newscasters to lie to you so you will work untill you are dead.
