In Response To: Re: Human height trends... (Infantier)

: Although I don't doubt the scientific evidence that we are getting taller,
: I'm not so sure that you can rely on the height of doorways to tell you
: how tall people were.

: There is another interesting theory that I once heard about the height of
: doorways which was that the doors were made lower to prevent all the heat
: leaving the room when the door was opened. It wasn't seen as such a
: problem to have to stoop into a room if it meant you didn't have to heat
: it all over again. Often these old places have higher ceilings. Mind you,
: I've cracked my head on many a low door and ceiling in old places in the
: UK, but perhaps thats just cos I'm used to the normal 6'6'' variety. (Or
: just stupid - yeah thanks)

: Maybe it's BS but I thought I'd share that anyway.

: Maybe Forerunner were real short dudes with a liking for really tall doorways
: - just to cause confusion in the speculation of us generations to come?
: :o)

It is interesting that all the control panels are the right hieght for someone as tall as the 7 ft. MC.
