Why was Guinness World Records published? And when? Discover the story behind the iconic Guinness World Records book
Standing at a staggering height of 8 foot and 11 inches, Robert Wadlow is the tallest person to have ever lived. Sadly, his life was cut tragically short when an infection led to his death in 1940. Our editor-in-chief, Craig Glenday, investigates whether we will ever see the likes of Wadlow again, towering over the rest of humanity. The world's current tallest person, Sultan Kosen, stands at 8 foot and 3 inches and science enabled the Turkish giant to stop growing. Why won't we see anyone taller than Wadlow? How has science advanced to mean that the record for tallest ever human will never be beaten?
