The Tallest People in the World
The Dinka people of South Sudan are believed to be the tallest in Africa. Today, this African race in its more or less pure form lives mainly in the southern Sudan and surrounding areas.
In the case of some Sudanese tribes, a sample from the 1950s estimated the average male height to be 6ft’ 4” while women of 1.8 m (6 ft).
The most famous group and more racially preserved of the Sudanese race are the Nilotic tribes (from Upper Nile area).
The most famous are Maasai, Turkana, Samburu and Dinka, whose main occupation is animal husbandry. Dinka people do not eat during daytime.
In the evening, the family gathers around the fire to eat milk, fish, cooked water tubers, vegetables and rarely goat meat…
