Can you tell me who invented the internet and how and why they discovered it?
{with names or specific groups}


If it were true what you say about size and weight, than Russia, Sweden, Poland, Germany, etc. would not have large people and places like Kenya, Ethiopia, etc. would not have any small skinny people.
There is a lot of variety.

you are not getting me at all, how do you expect someone to be a muscle bound freak without ever touching a weight?
you think those people in kenya care about that? can you really see one of them just sittin somewhere lifting barbells/stones or some****?
they reach for comfortable size, and they dont stuff their faces with fats, alot of those 'big' russians/swedens etc look stronger than they really are, just cuz your huge does'nt mean your strong, and does'nt mean your at optimum performance(which very few of those 'big' guys have) it's for show
look at the kenyan guys they're all around 6 foot or taller

and just because some country does'nt live in paradise, with pools, and a life full of computers and machines does'nt mean they are inferior

look at the egyptians and some other old culture, alot of the scientists today are scratching their heads and how they did alot of the things they did, and they even seemed to know more about our bodies, the stars etc than we do today

We know more about our bodies than the ancient Egyptians. Stars: I still say we do but it does seem to be true that they knew a lot more than what would be expected from an ancient civilization.

They, like the Romans, also had many inventions and medical surgeries that we today could admire given the times...but overall, we are more evolved from what we know.

that link about color of skin did'nt prove anything, what was the point of that?

They are trying to figure out what triggered it. Read it again as well as

This new research does not conclusively explain why light skin might have been favored among Europeans, but the work is consistent with the longstanding but unproven hypothesis suggesting that light skin allows more absorption of the ultraviolet rays in sunshine that are necessary for making the essential vitamin D. Such a trait could have been favored at European latitudes

ok...so why do eskimo's have brown skin? since it's made for absorbing more sunshine, i reckon that's adapting to an environment that does'nt get much sun therefore eskimo's should be paler than that of europeans

No matter how much that Kenyan lifts or eats, his genetics will not allow him to be as big as the Russian Wrestler. He was brought into Wrestling because they noticed his massive size for such a young boy. However, he wasn't strong when he started out because his body was still growing but as he matured and reached his potential, and was finished puberty where everything caught up...he was incredibly massive and strong.

However, if that Kenyan started to eat and lift and had kids and had them do the same...over time, I guess that is how human evolution of genetics work.

"just cause you are huge doesn't mean your strong."
True, but Size can matter.

What does the Kenyan's height have to do with it?

i was just sayin cuz the kenyans dont have a line of genetics from bodybuilding/wrestling, but notice how they are as tall or taller

So why aren't they black?

And this would go back to life-style and conditions...no?

"we have 99.9% in common with every human that has ever lived.. and we focus on the .01% we have different.."


100 - 99.9 is .1, but what you fail to mention is that we have 99.9% of our genes in common with all other mammals, too...and yet there are are one or two salient characteristics that differ between mice and elephants, yes?

Do you know how many genes separate the entire human race?

Six genes, out of the 30,000 to 40,000 genes that make us human, determine race. Race Has Little to Do with Genetic Makeup
