re: Gavin Long 'Melanin Superiority'- Blacks and Physical Genetics

Question, are blacks superior physically due to slave traders picking the biggest and strongest men and women and then breeding them or do you think its just in general? My thoughts are it's through selective breeding. I imagine in Africa, although diet/nutrition is inferior, they are about on par with most all other races as far as the ratio in physically gifted in comparison to average. Thoughts?

Slave trade is a portion of it for sure, but its not like white people created all of it through slave genetics. The strongest survived the trek from Africa and then the strongest were kept and bred in America, while the weak ones were not as much.

But look at Kenyans. The evolution there is crazy to design the perfect long distance runners.

Its evolution due to environment as much or more than the slave trade. Whitey hasn't been running from lions in Africa for millennia or hunting using primitive methods or traveling massive distances just for drinking water, etc. There truly is a "only the strong survive" aspect to living in Africa.

ETA:

I hate so much that this is considered racist. Its not, its science, and its pretty fascinating.

There are groups and cultures all over the planet with different genetic traits due to evolution and selective breeding.
