Modern record First hand

Severe two-directional spinal curvature meant his standing height was far below his true skeletal length; the recorded figure is a corrected estimate. A clear illustration of why even modern measurements carry qualifications.

People of giant stature measured under modern conditions, with a named cause where one is known. This is the only class on the page where the height itself is verified.
