Each person is different.
Our height depends on a large number of factors, above all, the genetics. In fact, our height differences is one of the things that makes our species so diverse and interesting.
Being taller or shorter than the majority of the population has advantages. Tall people, for example, have longer limbs that make them more fit for certain sports.
