I just have the one mixed race son, here pictured last year with his Filipina half-sister.
His mum is 4'10", me 6'1", and now at 18 he is 5'9" tall, and has mainly inherited his mother's features, but sadly saddled with a (mercifully smaller) version of my nose.
He also has the sweet and sociable nature of his mum and siblings.

Phew. Thats good that he isnt 4ft 10". ( And he still has 3 years more growing time )
Thanks for that insight Graham.
My ex wife's mother (Scottish) was no more than 5ft 2" and her dad was way over 6ft. And she has 2 brothers. My ex wife is taller than average and one brother is around 5ft 10" But the other brother is not much higher than his / her mother......

Height is like other traits, mostly the result of inheritance, but also the environment ( for example, nutrition ). Multiple genes are involved ( polygenic ). Several genes have been identified associated with height variability in the normal population ( especially “ High Mobility Group “/ HMGA2 ). While very tall parents do have tall offspring, they tend not to be as tall as the parents, and vice versa ( “ regression to the mean “ ).
Average height for UK males is around 5’9” ; females 5’4” – Filipino males 5’4” ; females 5’ .
