All the Americans in the study were native born, but the height of the mother does affect the growth potential of the child. So, there is a second generation effect.

There's the butterfly effect: A small change in an initial condition could have arbitrarily large consequences. — Nick Bostrom
We have mirror neurons that mirror other human beings. In other words, if I'm smiling it tends to make other people with me smile also. Whether I'm happy or lonely, I will tend to have happy or lonely friends. The same thing happens with actions; if I make an act of generosity it tends to be passed on down through society. So I see small groups as being very important in having an effect on large groups. — Lynne McTaggart
