So why is there so few TSI / Aborigional athletes? You'd think being untouched up until the 18th century would put them in even better position going by the logic mentioned earlier
This thread isn't quite as funny as some of you think it is.
Poor Irish always cop itNo more Irish jokes.
Jamaicans were selectively bred to work in the plantations. The only mated the strongest slaves so they are genetically superior physically. The white man inadvertently made the black man faster.
Im not sure about that theory man. Could it have more to do with where those Carribeans are descended from rather than selective breeding.

Definietly not. Black Jamiacans are descendents of slaves. Prior to their introduction Jamiaca and most of the Carribean islands were populated by native Indians which were wiped out entirely by the spanish and portugese
In a nutshell it was selective breeding and the fact that the hard life and transport conditions to that location ensured only the strong bred or lived long enough to procreate.
I believe he means due to west African ancestry.

No it is not simply the heritage. How many west Africans do you see in the Olympics? It's the US and Caribbean athletes that dominate, not their African relatives. It is definitely the intense pressure that the population was put through that has resulted in their superiority.
idk, if i were picking slaves from west africa to take to the west indies to work my farms i would personally want to take the biggest/strongest/fastest...
it is, imho, a combination of "starting point" (ie artificial selection of the basic "breeding stock") and natural selection (due to the conditions involved). based on the low number of generations involved i would weight the starting point as the more influential factor.

West Africa is poor. I dont know much about Africa but you seem pretty sure that slavery has resulted in a genetically superior being, have you done any research.
Is there a race/ethnic people that are genetically the strongest ?
