Estonians continue to rank as the third tallest people in the world. It is hard to beat people from the Netherlands who have topped the rankings for many years now. The average height of an Estonian man is 183.3 cm, and 168.7 cm for women.
The tallest man who ever lived was Robert Wadlow (1918-1940) from the United States. He was over 8 feet tall and stood at 2.72 metres.
