Through natural selection, Dutch people have adapted to their enviornment by becoming tall so their necks are always above sea-level in the event of floodings. Just like Lamarck’s Giraffe Theory

They have also adapted by being cheeky good at engineering their dikes so that floodings never occur, making the tallness adaptation completely pointless.
