I'm 6'1" and my younger brother is more or less as towering as me. But my older brother, father, and mother, are adjectives 5'8", 5'8", 5'5" respectively. Plus, I'm Asian and I know Asian people tend to be shorter than most other race. I'm just curious as to what extent does a person's altitude depend on their genes?

Answers:    If you are healthy and received all right nutrition then increase depends pretty much solely on genetics. But newly because your parents are both shorter doesn't mean that they weren't carrying around a rogue high-ceilinged gene just waiting to be expressed.

Almost completely. The simply way anything except genetics can affect your plane is if you are malnourished during growth, and after it just money you wind up shorter than you would hold otherwise because you didn't have ample nutrients to meet your full potential. If you munch through properly, the height you grow to is determined entirely by inheritance.
