En uzun boylu insan 1940 yılında ölen 2.72 metre boyunda ABD'li Robert Pershing Wadlow olmuştur.
Fakat Öldükten sonra ölçüldüğünde boyunun birkaç cm kısa olduğu söylentiler arasında yer almaktadır.
Robert Pershing Wadlow (February 22, 1918 – July 15,
1940) was a man who, to this day, is the tallest person in medical
history for whom there is irrefutable evidence. He is often known as the
"Alton Giant" because of his Alton, Illinois hometown. Robert Wadlow
reached 8 feet 11.1 inches (272 cm) in height and weighed 490 pounds
(220 kg) at his death. His great size and his continued growth in
adulthood was due to hypertrophy of his pituitary gland which results in
an abnormally high level of human growth hormone. He showed no
indication of an end to his growth even at the time of his death. Read
