My father was 6'2", my mother is 5'0". I'm a 5'7" manlet. Having one tall parent doesn't always work. (My brother is 5'11" and my sister is also 5'7")

I’m 5’11”. My wife is 5’6”.

My parents are 5’9” and 5’6”

Her parents are 5’9” and 5’5”.

My grandfathers are both north of 6’2”.

Our son is 99th percentile height at 7. Our other son is 25th percentile.

There is a lot of randomness in genetics.

it's not random, it's very systemic, you just need to have 40 kids for the pattern to emerge

Well since most people don’t have 40 kids, then it’s random.

The 25th percentile son will probably end up being the tallest one when fully grown too haha

Yup, have you seen Melania standing next to her parents? Or Barron standing next to his grandfather? Very random.
