[QUOTE]Originally posted by Whatbox: [QB] While I notice a great habitual difference in terms of physicality in lifestyles, between highly black, and highly white areas, where the kids in the one are much more regularly active in that regard (when not doing TV or games), Just giving my own experience, since I'm not one for just-so type explanations in this regard. Here are like three things that are more [b][i]objective[/i][/b] / quantitative facts people've told me about, to break away from the more [b][i]subjective[/b][/i] / wishy-washy nature of this thread, though I must say these seem like they can break both ways: I've come across a few possible explanations: [list] [*]Greater bone density *on average* amongst blacks which somehow transfers into something to do with muscle somehow (may also inversely {i.e. reductively} influence hangtime though in more X-games type sports). [*]Ethiopians and East Africans in general tend to be very gracile, which would appear ideal as it's the body type distance runners' bodies seem to conform to as they become accustomed to distance running. Conversely, I've read West Eurasians are more often suited to heavy lifting. [*]More fast/snap muscle coordination and actual quick-twich muscles [[URL=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rroRNqBaF4w&feature=related]lamin: see -- the shake move[/URL]]. Reminiscent of Kunta Kinte in Alex Haley's Roots, it'nit? [/list] Anyway, anyone can shake, it's just a good combination of circumstance, creativity and skill, though I will have to add that those who possess speed already are already at a slight advantage, because they already threaten to get away just by their speed. In terms of East vs. West Africans, the latter seem more suited to short distance running / events while the Ethios [i]PWN[/i] at long distance! [/QB][/QUOTE]
