Each parent contributes half of your DNA but not every gene is passed equally and the height is polygenic, meaning many genes influence it. Some come from your mom’s side, some from your dad’s side. So even if your parents are average height, you could inherit tall genes from a grandparent and end up taller than them

Jokes aside, sometimes you can have a deficiency you weren’t aware of that results in stunted growth if you don’t supplement something during growth. One of the reasons genetic testing can be really helpful as it will identify some problems and possibly allow to actually address them.

The axes don’t make sense, why is there negative all the way to 13′? Some lines every 20, some every 21 cm? The two decimal precision for inches not nothing for cm?
Why high heels for women?

Well, this is possible in principle, if the parents are not clean lines.

Groth can be hindered by hard work or bad nutrition as a child and teenager, maybe you or your wife are smaller than your genetics allow because of this?

The most unrealistic part of this is that he has a wife

It surprises me how often people assume genetics as an explanation, even when they have clear data to the contrary. I think we generally underestimate nutrition during critical developmental stages, for example.
