Were the first humans tall?

The Quran doesn’t say anything about the height of the first humans or Adam. The Quran wants to see from humans how Allah began the creation (al-Ankabut [29] 19). According to the Quran everything in the universe is also a sign/evidence of Allah (adh-Dhariyat [51] 20; Fussilat [41] 53).

The knowledge that Adam’s height was 60 Dhira (approximately 36 meter) bases on narrations (Hadith, Bukhari, Anbiya 1, 2; Muslim, Jannah 28 (2841).

Cambridge University says that remains of the first human shows us, that they were short:

[1] Australopithecus afarensis (4 million to 3 million years; ~40 kg, 130 cm).
[2] Homo ergaster (1.9 million to 1.4 million years; 55-60 kg; ~165 cm).
[3] Neanderthal (200.000 to 30.000 years; ~70 kg; ~163 cm).

Therefore, according to the Quran or in the evidence of Allah in the universe, the first humans weren’t tall.
