Just a bit of fact checking firsr... I checked on the website www.cro-mag.reallyoldearth and the only discrepancy I found was that the site indicates that the average human was 234.6 instead of 234.7 feet tall at the time. I'd like to think this can simply be attributed to the crude measuring instruments of the day.
In the comments section where, it is widely known, extremely knowledgeable scholars tend to share using anonymizing names, one deep thinker suggested that perhaps 6g and global warming caused the skeletal systems of humans and animals to become softer and more porous resulting in compression and near collapse. This scholar further looked to the fact that humans have become wider and rounder over time as additional evidence of this compression theory. Unfortunately, someone else posted the comment "fake news" and the rest of the discourse devolved into verbal assaults regarding the posters' appearances and small anatomy 😔😔

@TrunkZ Sir, I thank you for your input. Indeed the preferred unit of measure at the time was the 'cubit' which saw the person carrying out the measuring to use the distance from the knee to the elbow which worked out at around a foot. I have rounded this off so my calculations might be slightly off.
I agree with the possible findings of your esteemed scholar and can see how this conversation descended into anarchy due to the amount of false science that is going around these days.

Well sir, it’s not that humans are shrinking, it’s that the earth is growing. You see, heaven is in the clouds above earth and they are constantly sweeping the floor, sprinkling dust down of us at a rate of roughly 100 tons, or 769 Dwayne Johnson’s, every day making the earth grow larger and making us seem smaller in comparison.

It's noticeable even within our lifetime. My parents were both over 10 feet tall, but I'm only 9'4".

Erm yes ?
I can't wait for the cave painting of our ancestors taking a dino for a walk on a lead and carrying a pooper scoop and bag.

@autumngirl27 Ma'am, I will make it my mission to find one of these for you. I am sure my ancestors must have posted something on Facebook.
Yes and earth is flat

It’s all the birds fault. They work for the trees.
