I believe the world is built for average height people, not tall people and certainly not short people. Tall people have many inconveniences when it comes to the world like doors that are too short and cars that are too small.

There are 2 people who should be considered. The first one is a herdsman from the Inner Mongolia region of China, Bao Xishunto a.k.a. Xi Shun (b. 1951), measured 7' 8.95" (2 m 36.1 cm). He has been confirmed by Guinness World Records as the tallest naturally-growing human in the world in January 2005. \n\nBut that's not all, there is a Ukrainian veterinary surgeon, Leonid Stadnik, and he is believed to be 8' 4" inches tall and thought to be still growing! He considers his condition "God's punishment" and doesn't want to be considered for the world record title, hence he has refused so far to be measured by officials of the Guinness Book of Records.\n\nBy the way, the tallest man ever recorded was an American by the name of Robert "Pershing" Wadlow (1918-1940), born and buried in Alton, Illinois. His height of 8' 11.1" qualifies him as the tallest person in history, as recorded in the Guinness Book of Records.
