I saw this graph on Reddit, which supposedly shows official data, and found it a bit suspicious. Namely, a lot of the heights seem to be a bit too high.

What's your take on it?
I saw this on Reddit aswell. This is 100% bollocks, could be a projection but these numbers are all inflated. I would say do -5cm to ever country.
I live in regional Australia in a city of 100,000, many young women of European descent are 170cm +, many young men are 180+, I am 179cm and very height aware.
These numbers aren't inflated. People in Europe are tallest. Also if you live in a big city and not in rural areas of the country , the height is even bigger.
Why can't this make sense to guys here? Most of the data are very legit, except that indeed there are some excessively high ones.
Average male height in the Netherlands is 181.2 cm, 182.9 for young men only, as of the latest study (which is self-reported btw). Greece most definitely isn't 179 cm, I go there all the time, UK is 175 cm, and so on. Basically almost none of them match what you can find on Wikipedia's "Average human height by country" article.
italy is a bit taller, i'd say 176/177cm
In Lithuania now the male average height is the same as in the Netherlands according to new stats.
Baltics, Balkans and Netherlands are just insane. I literally see 6'7 13 year olds almost daily.

Yep, average height there is around 183cm now, but in major cities it probably goes as high as 186cm. There is quite difference between rural and urban areas
