World’s shortest man and woman
« on: May 16, 2014, 03:19:12 PM »
Chandra Bahadur Dangi (born on November 30, 1939 in Nepal) is the shortest man in the world, measuring 0.546 m (1 ft 9 in). Dangi is a primordial dwarf. He broke the record of Gul Mohammed (1957-1997), the shortest adult human whose height was 0.57 m (1 ft 10 in).

Jyoti Amge (born 16 December 1993), a resident of Nagpur, India, is the world's smallest living woman according to the Limca Book of Records and Guinness Book of Records. On December 16, 2011 ‒ Amge's 18th birthday, she was officially declared the world's smallest woman by Guinness Book of Records with a height of 62.8 cm (2 ft 0.6 in). Her restricted height is due to a growth anomaly called achondroplasia.

Both of them are record holders from the new Guinness World Records 2014 book.
