Anyway, I remember being in the school athletics team for 100metres race. And when I competed this black kid beat me and everyone else.
I was like how the ****? I was one of the fastest in my school.
Back to the question, why are black/africans so athletic?
Africans apparently carry some pretty good genes when it comes to sprinting and cardio. White people apparently make way better bodybuilders, because whites have better muscle growth.
Ever noticed how most sprinters are black and how most bodybuilders are white? It's genes, along with hard work and skills.
Google 'sprinters', then google 'bodybuilders', you'll see.
When black people were brought here as slaves the weaker ones died and only the strong survived, creating a very strong gene pool.
You made me even more proud of being black (:
cuz they are from africa
African physiology is more gracile (in the physical-anthropology sense) and slender due to the intense heat Africans have had to live in. Longer thinner bodies lose heat more effectively than shorter or stockier frames and allow for the ability to sustain physical exertion like running for longer without overheating.
Caucasian bodies are adjusted to dealing with very different landscapes. Colder and more temperate climates require the need to retain and regulate heat more carefully leading to shorter and stouter body forms. Being tall and thin in below zero conditions is a good way to freeze to death! Caucasians also lost their darker skin pigments to help absorb more vitamin D in the weaker northern sunlight. In terms of overall body strength I don't believe there to be any particular advantages in any world region. The west has a longer tradition of body building so may excel at it more for cultural reasons than for physical advantage.
As with most things it's always more likely to be down to an individual to discover they have the ability to develop monstrous muscles.
Generations of manual laborers at one with nature. In most parts of Africa they didnt use things like horse power and the average man didnt have servants or slaves. They did everything themselves.
@Clyde - Its be proven Black people have better muscle growth - probably 90% of bodybuilders use steroids and performance enhancers. Point invalid.
