@MJF, the topic you're addressing is fascinating and helps me better understand what's happening in the Middle East, drawing parallels with the ancestry of the Iranian people. I also observe that the markers that have had the greatest impact on genetic changes are cataclysms and wars.
And I've rediscovered the scientific research concerning the tallest people."Mapping the Mountains of Giants: Anthropometric data from the Westerne Balkans reveal a nucleus of extraordinary physical stature in Europe" and I quote this passage:

So, this "haplogroup I-M170" gene, according to the AI, refers to a very old paternal genetic lineage, passed down from father to son, identified through the Y chromosome. It is a group sharing the same common ancient ancestor and which dates back to around 20,000 to 25,000 years ago.This article summarizes all the key socio-economic, nutritional, and genetic data, and offers possible explanations for this anthropological phenomenon. Since the remarkable height of the Dinaric populations cannot be connected with any commonly known environmental factor, the most probable hypothesis is genetic and links these physical characteristics with the local founder effect of Y haplogroup I-M170. Furthermore, given that both the level of socio-economic development and dietary protein quality are still sub-optimal, the local upward trend in body height has the potential to continue in the future.

Personally, I didn't saw those tall men in Holland, and they tend to be skinny. I'm 184 and in Croatia and Serbia I'm of average height, but in Bosnia and Montenegro they call me shorty
