Interesting study. It was counterintuitive to read that women reap greater financial rewards than men for being taller ("Finally, when occupational sorting and socio-demographics are controlled for, a 10 cm increase in height results in a 5% increase in earning for men, and a 12% increase in earnings for women."). I've always been curious if, maybe, taller people are genuinely more qualified than shorter ones. Perhaps, being taller their overall bodies are larger and as an extension of that they have larger brains and are marginally higher IQ.

Excellent study; now I want to see something more brutal than employment or sexual selection, male height and physical appearence having an affect on how the law treats you.

Tall people have a heightened belief they can beat others. This gives them dominance and courage

They don't call it capi-TALL-ism for nothing!
