I read in a book Khangis Khan him self was tall and had red or bright brown hair. I think he was mixed though because i read some mongols are mixed with Scythians and Iranians

Studying anthropology, it is said that Yellow Race are gerenrally considered average and rather short, anyhow. That's what you see when you're among these people.

Chinggis Khan was described as being tall.
The Shanyue of the Xiongnu who confronted Gen.MengTien
of the Qin Dynasty was described as being tall.
The famous palaentologist Roy Chapman Andrews described
a Mongol close to 7 ft tall in his memoirs.

According to Carpini the mongols were of medium heigth. Considering that 13th century western europeans stood at an average of 165-170 cm tall I presume the mongols were of the same stature. Then Ruysbroeck writes at the same time that the chinese were shorter than the mongols
Considering the diet's effect on the heigth I wouldn't question it, but I would say genes have a bigger importance on your height. I'm short (172 cm) because many of my ancestors were short, despite all the modern vitamins and proteins I'm shorter than my dad and my father's father's father (born in 1881), who was 176 cm.

I agree Zagros. But the thing is that, our people, from different social classes, with different diets and favors, would rarely grow up to 185. Now, forget about the radical Japanese who have affected even their potatos to be a better food. I've spent whole my life with different Turkic & Mongolian buddies; but have found most of them to have the normal height, I mean almost 180. Anyhow Zagros (be khodam daram migam):'giram pedare to ro fazel; az fazle pedar to ra che hasel?' Take care...

The diet is definetely important.My father also lived tougher as a child then me.He's 175 cm tall-i'm 192, and my brother is 186.However, my ancestors from my mother's side were quite tall (especially considering the time period)-my grandfather was 187 and his father about 193.Interesting-their life conditions were also rather poor (ww1 and ww2 contribution should be also mentioned).However, they were from the mountainous regions close to montenegro where being tall or extremely tall wasn't anything unusual...

You have to also consider that the diet in the old days was different to that of today and diet makes a big difference. If you want heights for medieval Mongols, then the best thing to do is look at the nomadic Mongols who still live the same style of life as the old days.
The Japanese have increased greatly in height over the last 50 years because of the change in their diet, the same with Chinese, moer people have access to good quality meat, instead of just rice and other low protein agricultural products.
My dad is only 165cm tall, but I am 193 - he had a much tougher life as a child than I did and was one of ten children who did not receive the best of everything in 1950s and 60s Iran, all of my other makle cousins are above 185cm.

You know Sino Defender, we're talking about the majority. Being a Turkmen who've been quite Asiatic, I'm 183 now... still have got place to grow. But I can't say Central Asians are tall. Mostly average. And you've got to define who is considered tall. Our people are almost around 180 (or at most 185). Any person with a height of more than this amount is called 'suri/uzin' which are informal equivalents for 'tall'.

Hey, i have a serious question. Here in Canada, theres a
chain of restaurants called the 'Mongoli Grill' ....... its a buffet of
raw asian-type ingredients, you pile however much of whatever you like
into a metal bowl, scoop on some sauce, and bring it to this guy who
fries it all up for you on a giant piping-hot grill. Then they sprinkle
sesame seeds on it. The places are usually run by Koreans.
Is there anything remotely 'Mongolian'-sounding about this?
What do you normally eat there?

yeah, that's it. Old excavations show that 'Peking Man' was of medium hight. It is even said that they were rather short. The Mongolian Skeletons found in North Eastern Russia and northern Mongolia are of average hight. What they say in old history books also confirms this fact.
