Racial Genetics in boxing

[Fulcrum29]

im half black and half white... i have carmel skin, but i look most like my white grandfather. i have eyes and eyebrows from my grandfather, body hair like my ***ish grandfather, smarts from my grandmother, speed, nose and long limbs from my dad.. i am not extremely strong but very fast. its literally like a half and half mix i dont think the black genes prevailed

hahahah Horus got owned again.

Sad little guy.

Im not sure who this part is directed to (I never said a think about long legs or arms), but again, think about why someone from, say, Kenya, would be a great runner. What is going on in the life of that person in Kenya that is different then Joe from Boston? Are you getting it at all? Here is another example. What makes people from some countries better at Soccer? Do you think Brazillians are genetically superior in Soccer comparred to say, Indians living in America? Or could something else be going on? (hint, hint.) It is really very simple.

of course what you're referring to is socio-economic/environmental influences.

Blacks tend to be rappers and basketball players because that's what the inner city urban culture fosters and promotes, and they often see rapping and playing basketball as the quickest meal ticket so to speak or shot at stardom/fame.
Same thing with brazilians and soccer, there is already a huge soccer CULTURE there so when a boy grows up in Brazil you know damn well he's going to be playing soccer 24/7 from the age of 2 or 3. It's all about your environment.
People in Kenya have nothing else to do but run their long ass plains so they become runners. If you took a baby from Kenya and raised it in an upscale new york neighborhood I bet it can become just as good a wall street broker as any normal tri-state white guy - likewise take a white baby into Kenya and raise it there and I bet he'll become a runner simply due to his surroundings and environment, although the predisposition towards running probably won't be as good for other aforementioned reasons, such as genetic propensity of blacks to have longer limbs like someone said and possibly the already inbuilt genetic code of the Kenyans to have more efficient respiration systems (i.e. lungs to hold more air, etc) due to generations of them having lived at the same high altitudes.

well race threads generally get locked and deleted by MODS very quickly but this one has been surprisingly civilized and discreet so I think MODS must be impressed with how well most of us are behaving

Yea, it has been a good read

Personally I think no race is more athletic than any other race but races do vary on some forms of physical characteristics. This is due to environment mainly. Africans have lower % of body fat because it would be useless carrying excessive body fat in a warm climate hence why they more lean and look more ripped. While whites on the other hand have higher body fat % because their bodies adapted to the cold temperature trying to keep themselves warm.

now we just need to know why asians have slanted eyes

it seems a lot of people in northern/high altitude/colder climates like where a lot of asians are, the tibetan plateau, mongolia, china, inuits, etc have slanted eyes. One theory I just thought of is maybe since they are on such high altitudes where winds are often high like the tibetan plateau etc, maybe their eyes have developed squintiness as a resistance to the wind from them having to always squint their eyes sort of like how eskimos do in order to shield the eyes from the wind and by evolution/natural selection perhaps it gained genetic prominence. Could be a ****** theory but I just thought of it as one possible explanation.

keep in mind africa's exploitation by other nations is a RELATIVELY recent thing in history, but why were africans still in tribes and mudhuts even before the slave trade and all that when europeans were already flying around in airships and cruising the high seas in galleons, inventing advanced algorithmic equations, high literature and art, etc, etc...Just saying you can't blame EVERYTHING on the european man.

Actually, the slave trade existed in Africa before the whites arrived. In fact the black slave trade was introduced to the whites by the blacks who were practicing it amongst themselves.
