Our world is full of wonders and anomalies. You can meet them every day when going to work or walking in the park. Unique, unrepeatable nature surrounds us all our lives. However, it is not uncommon to see the unusual among people. Human genes are not yet sufficiently studied, despite the high development of medicine. They are the main reason for the birth of people who are different from most of us.
The smallest person in the world stands out among them. This title has been awarded to many over the years. However, the smallest growth to date among women was noted by Pauline Masters. He was only 59 centimeters. She can be called the embodiment of the fabulous Thumbelina, just as fragile and sweet.
Pauline was born in 1876 in Holland. At birth, her height was 30.5 centimeters. At nine years old, she weighed only 1.36 kilograms, and at nineteen, she weighed a little more than four.
The smallesta person in the world, and even more so a girl, could not go unnoticed. In those days, she had one way - to the circus. The audience was delighted with her. Pauline performed with acrobatic numbers, at the end of which there were dances with the audience. She looked like a doll. Tiny dresses, lace and shoes were amazing.
The live Thumbelina's stage name was Princess Pauline. Under this name, she successfully performed in Germany, Great Britain, France, Belgium. In 1894 she made her debut in New York. After that, she gained thousands of new fans.
Despite universal love and recognition, the smallest person in the world in history, namely Pauline Masters, died in her prime. She was stricken with meningitis and pneumonia. The tiny body could not cope with the illness, and on March 1, 1895, little Princess Pauline died.
The smallest man in the world among men is the living Tapa Magaru. He lives in Nepal. He is 55 centimeters tall and weighs 5.5 kilograms. He was born very tiny, with a weight of 600 grams. According to the stories of the mother, he fit in her palm. When Tapa got stronger and grew up a little, he enjoyed going for walks with his father, while fitting in his pocket.
Tapa's parents have repeatedly tried to get into the Guinness Book of Records. But they were refused due to the small age of their son. Having become an adult, the boy was able to receive the long-awaited title, which he is incredibly happy about.
Over the next 10 years, the teenager will have to measure three moretimes. In case his height does not change, he will retain his title.
The smallest man in the world was far from the first holder of this title. Before him, this title was held by the Indian Gul Mohammed. He was only two centimeters taller. In addition to them, there was also a Chinese He Pingping, Edwardo Nino Hernandezes from Colombia and others. But they were all significantly taller than Tapa Magaru.
The biggest and smallest man in the world has always been the object of public scrutiny. Their life and way of life are covered in sufficient detail in the press. What was previously considered a disadvantage, today, thanks to show business figures, easily turns into advantages.
