[edit] Why?

Do the proportions of the human body conform to any notable local maxima? Is there a reason that the arms are of this size, that the legs are of this size, etc.? --Damian Yerrick (☎) 21:41, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

somebody:

your genetics define the basic human proportions. What you eat and how active you are (ex: weightlifting, running, etc) will affect your proportions, though you will still have the basic proportions described here.

Anyways I believe that this description skips a head length. there seems to be one between mid thigh and mid calf. just under the knee. I'm not going to post that scince i'm not anauthority on body proportion. the 3d model I'm working on didn't look at all right (it actually didn't work at all) without that head length.

Another Somebody: It is missing one, its only 7 heads tall ...
