Why are you so stuck on height? The average male height in Sweden is 6'0". Do they dominate sports worldwide?Originally Posted by DT43
You still haven't explained why modern-day African-Americans are not much taller and more stronger on average than whites. It's obvious that you have limited knowledge of physiology.. fast-twitch muscle fibres for sprinting/jumping have nothing to do with strength endurance, which would be the most preferred trait for slavery.
It's also obvious that you don't follow sprinting in any way. The African (as in the continent of Africa, ie people who aren't descendants of slaves) 100m record is 9.85 seconds. The fastest time ever run by a Caucasian is 9.98s. As far as sprinting goes, that's an enormous gap. Even from an observational standpoint in other events, African soccer players are known for their exceptional speed. For the most part, Caribbean sprinting is more prominent than African sprinting because they have a stronger infrastructure set up to develop sprinters and more money is poured into it.
Drop this selective breeding stuff man, you're smarter than that.
^ You are mistaken, there are is no such truth to that. There areAfrican athletes who can dominate any sport just like African-Americanbecause they share common genetics. athletes like Samuel Eto'o, DidierDrogba, Hakeem Olajuwon, Nnamdi Asomugha etc. If there was selectivebreeding then every African-American would have Lebron typeathleticism.
As I said there are outliers in any group. Naming a few African soccer players doesn't mean much. That's why they are the "elite" in their sport whether they are white , black, asian, etc.
We are talking about "on average" here. Not the elite outliers.

Considering that height is linked with nutrition the fact that African Americans are relatively tall at an average height of 5'10" even though they weren't fed well for centuries while in slavery has to attest to something. No?
You bring up one example. There are outliers in any group. The fact that any white guy broke 10s is a testament to that.
Look at the list of the top 10 100m times. Nine out of the 10 are Jamaica, Canada, and USA and all are descendants of African slaves.
You're taking the selective breeding too literally. There is natural evolution and then there is forced evolution. It's called treating humans like domesticated animals aka eugenics. That's exactly what slave owners and slave traders in the Europe/ Western hemisphere did.
