Evolution of Human Height in the World

Poor nutrition and illness in childhood limit human growth. As a consequence, the average height of a population is strongly correlated with living standards in a population. This makes the study of human height relevant for historians who want to understand the history of living conditions.

Because the effect of better material living standards is to make people taller, human height is used as an indirect measure of living standards. It is especially relevant for the study of living conditions in periods for which little or no other data is available — what historians refer to as the pre-statistical period.

It is important to stress that height is not used as a direct measure of well-being. The variation of height within a given population is largely determined by genetic factors.1

The history of human height allows us to track progress against undernourishment and disease and makes it possible to understand who started to benefit from modern advancements and when.

Isochrone Maps | TravelTime.com

Isochrone maps visualize areas reachable within the same travel time from a starting point (e.g., “30 minutes by car from Geneva”).

Advanced tools allow you to:
Combine multiple isochrones (e.g., overlap a 60-minute zone from Geneva and a 30-minute zone from Yverdon).
Filter results to show only areas meeting all criteria.

Maps | The Worldmap War

Many projections of the globe have been published over the centuries, despite the mathematical impossibility of a rectangular projection. There is then a heated debate about which is the most accurate. Impossible question of course as it depends on which parameter you value the most: angles, areas or distances. There is no way to be accurate on one parameter without changing another incorrectly.

Here are some pages to help to better understand the differences between the different projections available:
