Land of giants |
|
Research shows that the Dutch took over the position of the 'tallest of the world' from the Americans. At the same time the second runners up, the Scandinavian countries, stay behind now. ABC News correspondent Jim Sciutto follows a member of the Dutch tall people club to see what it means to be so tall. A tall mother has her thoughts about the enormous height of her 9 year young daughter. She might have to take medicines to stop her from growing too tall. A Dutch anthropologist shows ancient bones to show when and why the Dutch became the Giants of the world.
