[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] If the program on the History channel is anything to go by, about modern humans outperforming Neanderthals in a combat situation, because they would have been more agile due to their tropical body plans vs. the cold adapted stature of Neanderthals, then that might partly be at work here as well. Accordingly, the wider pelvis and shorter limb bones of the Neanderthal would have required more expenditure of energy during running than their modern human counterparts would have. So, in that sense, perhaps the relatively more heat adapted body proportions of athletes of recent African descent impart a slight advantage in agility, i.e. to the exclusion of other steps towards athletic-preparedness.
