heritability of height is 80 percent
Scientists estimate that about 80 percent of an individual’s height
I see statistics like this all over the internet. The other 20% is due to envionmental factors (supposedly). Although I have seen some estimates saying there is a 60-40 split. Soooooooooo, if I do the maths.
My height = 5'10 (177.8cm)
5'10 into inches = 70.5
Round down to 70 inches to make the maths easier.
10% of 70 inches = 7
20% of 70inches = 14
14 + 70 = 84 inches
84/12= 7
Theoretically, my max potential height is 7 (213.36cm)
Am I calculating it right?
