Based on anthropometric surveys of 5261 Israeli males conducted in 1970, 1985, and 2000, the study examines temporal changes of bodily size and shape in two groups of Israelis – Ashkenazim and Sephardim – over thirty years. The rate of changes varied. In the Ashkenazim, body length increased mostly between 1970 and 1985. In the Sephardim, body length decreased during the same period. The difference was caused by the fact that a considerable number of people sharply different from most Israelis in physical type immigrated to Israel from Africa in the 1980s. By 2000, the difference between the Ashkenazim and the Sephardim in body length decreased due to intense admixture and to higher living standards compared to the countries from whence the immigrants had arrived
