Do you think that people with tall and slender body types are from a rich or wealthy ancestry? As opposed to shorter and stockier people.

Actually, long ago it was a bit of a status symbol to be a bit heavier. This was a sign of plentiful food, and no need to really work.

no they must just have a family with good genes LOL

No I never think that. I'm more prone to judging wealthiness by the way someone is dressed, or the car they drive as opposed to their body shape.

I think there is a possibility that is true due to the fact that their spouses were chosen and it was a selective process.

It's funny you ask this because I have just completed an introductory sociology course at my university and this exact subject was covered. My prof had actually said (to a class of 1500 mind you) that wealthy people are indeed on average taller than lower middle class to lower class people. This is due to a combination of things, well-breeding in some cases, therefore good genes as mentioned before. Most times however, wealthy people have access to better foods (organic, high nutrition diets etc) than the non-wealthy, who most times scrummage for anything they can get to survive. This sounds silly but it is true, a poor person is not going to go on a high protein, high this, low that, kind of diet - they just want what they can afford to subsist and feed their children. I hope I was helpful and answered your question! I really liked the class, I had learned a whole bunch about people I would have never thought of otherwise!

There will inevitably be exceptions, 5'9 is a good height mind you. He is very well read and wrote the main textbook and two subtexts we learned from. I thought it interesting however because I come from a fairly well-off family and I am 6'2. I hope you are not offended or anything because as I said before you will get , like in your case. It is not just food etc, it is general nation-wide well being. Case in point, Sweden!

no, i believe that slender people were the poorer ones, stockier people had money which is why they had enough money to be stocky
