1.Robert Wadlow
Robert Wadlow is the tallest person in recorded history for whom there is irrefutable evidence. He reached an earth shattering 8 foot 11 and weighed a whopping 439 pounds at his death at age 22 on July 15, 1940! His great size and his continued growth in adulthood were due to hyperplasia 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. His family claimed that Robert was taller than his father at age 8, and in elementary school they had to make a special desk for him due to his size. After graduating from Alton High School in 1936, he enrolled in Shurtleff College with the intention of studying law. By the time he had graduated from high school, he was 8 foot 4. Robert Wadlow’s size began to take its toll; he required leg braces to walk and had little feeling in his legs and feet. Despite these difficulties, Wadlow never used a wheelchair. According to t he Guinness World Records, he was a US size 37 shoe, a UK 36, and a European size 71. Robert’s incredible height and weight proves that he could not have possibly been human, but more like a walking Empire State Building!
