Who was the tallest human on earth?
This famous man died at the age of 22 in 1940. Because of his height he had some problems with his legs but never used a wheelchair. The disease, though, didn't prevent him from becoming a celebrity as he reached 8 ft 11 in! He started to grow since the moment he was born: at the age of 8 he was 5 ft 11 in. According to the modern data, such an anomaly was caused by hyperplasia.
