We often get our nicknames because of our distinguished heights. People often recall others through their height! So yes heights are important and thereby I was amazed to search upon the heights of shortest people alive on the earth.

It was really interesting to discover the shortest heights recorded around the world. We have also shared a post earlier covering a list of tallest people in the world. These heights have been officially recorded and have been inked in Guinness World Records.
