For around 150 years, humans have been getting taller.
大约150年来，人类的身高一直在增长。
But that trend could be coming to an end.
但这种趋势可能即将结束。
Researchers analysed 200,000 children in South Asia, a region particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
研究人员分析了南亚的20万名儿童，该地区特别容易受到气候变化的影响。
They estimated that children who had experienced temperatures above 35C coupled with high humidity during every trimester while they were in their mothers' wombs, would be 13% shorter than expected for their age.
他们估计，在母亲子宫内的每个孕期都经历超过35摄氏度高温和高湿度的儿童，其身高将比同龄预期身高矮13%。
Height is strongly determined by genetics and nutrition, but the study suggests that heat and humidity also play a part.
身高很大程度上由遗传和营养决定，但研究表明，炎热和湿度也起到一定作用。
And researchers say that while the global picture remains uncertain, we could reasonably expect to see similar results in other parts of the world too.
研究人员表示，虽然全球情况尚不确定，但我们可以合理地预期在世界其他地区也会看到类似的结果。
So, climate change might not just reshape the planet, but the size of the people living on it.
所以，气候变化不仅可能重塑地球，也可能改变居住在地球上的人的身高。
