Our world is full of miracles and anomalies. You can meet them every day, going to work or walking in the park. The unique, inimitable nature surrounds us all our lives. However, it often happens to see the unusual among people. Human genes have not yet been sufficiently studied, despite the high development of medicine. They are the main reason for the birth of people unlike most of us.
Among them, the smallest person in the world stands out. This title has been awarded to many for many years. However, the smallest growth to date among women has been noted in 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, a little more than four.
The smallest man in the world, let alone a girl, could not go unnoticed. In those days, she had one road - to the circus. The audience was delighted with her. Pauline performed with acrobatic numbers, at the end of which there were dancing with the audience. She looked like a doll. Tiny dresses, lace and slippers were amazing.
The stage name for the living little inch was Princess Pauline. Under this name, she successfully performed in Germany, Great Britain, France, and 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 man in the world in history, namely Pauline Masters, died in the prime of life. She was struck by meningitis and pneumonia. The tiny organism could not cope with the disease, and on March 1, 1895 the little Princess Pauline died.
The smallest man in the world among men is the now living Tapa Magaru. He lives in Nepal. It has a height of 55 centimeters and a weight of 5.5 kilograms. He was born very tiny, weighing 600 grams. According to the stories of his mother, he fit in her palm. When Tapa grew stronger and grew a little, he gladly went for walks with his father, while taking room in his pocket.
Tapa's parents tried more than once 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 get the long-awaited title, which is incredibly happy.
Over the next 10 years, a teenager will have to be measured three more times. In the event that his growth does not change, he will retain his title.
The smallest person in the world was far from the first owner of this title. Before him, the title was worn by the Indian Gul Mohammed. He was only two centimeters taller. In addition to them, there was also Chinese He Pinping, Edwardo Nino Hernandez from Colombia and others. But they were all significantly higher than Tapa Magaru.
The largest and smallest people in the world have always been objects of close public attention. Their life and life are covered in sufficient detail in the press. What used to be considered a disadvantage, today, thanks to the figures of show business, it is easily converted into advantages.
