Woah, top 18 tallest countries by average male height are all in Europe!

Thank you for playing today's Factle! We are making the entire dataset available here on OpenAxis for users to dig into, beyond just the Top 5 answers. Where does your country rank in terms of the world's tallest people?

Here is a chart I created based on the dataset, showing the top 5 tallest and shortest countries by average male height. There seems to be a clear distinction between the northern and southern hemispheres.

Does anybody know how this has changed over time? Is there a panel dataset of heights by country over time?
