I would expect that the hoop would be set at a shorter height and selection for the sport would no longer be height dependent, which would make it more selective for skill.

Screw the NFL, I could finally play in the NBA!!

I would tend to agree. I prefer the heterogeneity of our current world. I think the genetic diversity also would help us if we were ever affected by a disaster that was more likely to kill people of a specific height. I can't imagine what exactly that might be, but hey, it could happen.

Yeah, who knows? Anything can happen. I watched something a while back that talked about our lack of genetic diversity (even with today's height differences😊) and speculated on how many of us would have to live through an extinction level event for the species to survive. It was quite interesting.

It would only appeal to short people. There huge advantages in being tall!

As a rather... Present short fellow. I disagree that the tall assert their dominance by existing.
If ever I have felt that someone who was taller were dominating, or attempting to dominate, it has always been because of other reasons than their height.

I assert my dominance through my size all the time. It works well because few people do it and it throws people off guard

The reason I say that is because empirical studies have shown that people who are taller are more likely to be paid more and garner more attention on the business world.

I could be wrong in equating that to dominance, but I used dominance as a substitute to get that general idea across.
