If you look at the average height differences from pre-modern humans to today, I think it's fair to say that the majority of them were malnourished.

EDIT: And when I say 'pre-modern' humans I mean 'pre-modern era' as in before the industrial revolution and refrigeration, not before genetically/physiologically modern humans. It sounds like you understand me as saying ~200k years ago, rather than the ~200 years ago I intended.
