Were the Germans physically superior?
#62
Of course, this is a broader sample, but in The Natural History of Pompeii they claim that the human remains recovered show that the average male was 169 cm (5’6”) and the average female was 155 cm (5’1”). However, Estelle Lazer evidently points out that different studies on the height of Vesuvius’ victims have come up with different numbers.

It would be interesting to see similar studies on German remains from the same time period, if this was possible.
