This trend is similar, imo. I don't think everyone getting taller is just about diet (which has gotten both better and worse along the x-axis) or sexual selection. Humans are changing, as we always have. Seems like the pendulum is swinging back, humanity was at our very shortest quite recently, deep in the Kali Yugan trenches, and now we shall return to grander statutes, perhaps all the way to giants. Horses to unicorns, birds to dinosaurs, elephants to mammoths: DNA is downstream from something else.. we are yet to understand what. "Random mutations" in DNA has been shown to selectively occur BEFORE extinction events. You may call that fate, or God, because The Science™ has nothing to offer you beyond derision and ridicule. The interesting, and perhaps terrifying (should I stop talking about this? No one else does, so if I shut my mouth we are putting a lid on this pretty tightly. I am very open to the argument that this is better left unexplored) fact is that we do not have to be passive observers in this slow, gradual process of evolution. It is modulated by electrical parameters! This is intuitively the archetype for us, that a lightning strike would make something "level up" if it hits just right. It super-charges the anime character or levels up the Bionicle™ or whatever. And it's kind of how it does seem to work, if you look up the story of the Ebner effect, where strong electrical fields during germination of seeds and eggs will induce strong changes to the plant or animal, often seemingly returning to an historical predecessor, i e exactly the equivalent of bird to dinosaur, and so on. Here's something new for you, never said before; This evolutionary Ebner effect can be super-powered to arbitrary levels by using negatively charged water on top of the strong electrical field. If you are good at charging water (the definition of a wizard.) then setting up the electrical field is a piece of cake for you. Just place insulated (plastic) foil on each side of whatever you want to Ebner affect; seeds being germinated, eggs.. Air gap between seed and the foil on each side, short air gap to negative side and longer air gap to positive side. You can use the mosquito zapper for this, put tape over the power button and leave it on for however long you want. So, you'd charge water (see wizard.talk how to do that) and then let the seeds soak in that water while applying the strong electrical field for a while. A lot of work? Maybe an hour. That's pretty impressive ROI to literally make a new type of plant that has not existed for thousands of years, if ever. You'd get to name your new plant, too.
