People Have Been Growing

Recommended Posts

The reasons in the supposed shrinking of people in Europe from the giant germanic and gaullic people, is simple genetics. The Romans and Germanic/Gaulic peoples mixed their genes, thus causing smaller children to be born than before.

Wouldn't it be...over the muscle...that the fat was supposed to grow?

 

If they only ate barely, wouldn't they get scurvy? I would expect that they had some fresh vegetables as well (I read somewhere that they did, actually) and a source of protein.

Yeah soz,i meant over the muscle (bit tired,just finished nightshift)

The fat what you gain from barley is different from normal flab,its a lot firmer,so its like having a layer of armour under your skin.Im sure olive oil and lemons and limes would of been available too,that will keep the scurvy away.
