Can /an/ shed some light on an Anthropology and Evolutionary question I have? Thanks.

It's now accepted that Europeans are almost all linked in some way to interbreeding between Homo Sapiens and Neandertals. This explains some things about white anatomy like generally wider hips, their prowess in strength sports but lack of speed and agility and underepresentation in sports requiring huh speed. My question is how then have Europeans become the tallest human race? I understand that more factors than just their ties to Neandertals effect this, but the average Neandertal was 4 or more inches shorter than the average homosapien today. (NO racism. No religious warefare. These are facts.)

Because whites come from the species you speak....Niggers generally evolved from apes. This shit isnt new.

you asked a racist question.

the simple answer is whites aren't the tallest race because race isn't real anymore.

>implying European characteristics are because of Neanderthal genes
>implying black people aren't the physically stronger race
>implying being born in the right areas doesn't massively affect physical strength (all the long distance runners come from a place way above the sea level)
>implying height isn't because an increase in quality of food and calorie intake

>these are facts

Never implied that there is t other factors to height if you fucking read closely, European characteristics ARE closer to Neanderthal characteristics than other races, never ever fucking implied anything about food intake not effecting height, just asked for reasons why they are tallest because Neanderthals were short, I'm just going by what I've learned from sports and human anatomy in which the black build is way better for speed and agility and the white one favors strength. Look at Olympic events ffs.

Africans bred with Neanderthals to, hell the whole human race bred with them all over the planet.

Also, don't forget there is less of a difference between races of man than the differences between dog breeds.
Race is an aesthetic.

Most of the african countries can't afford to throw millions of dollars at every competitor.

Also. Numbers of white countries vs black??

No matter how nutritional their diets the average latino person is going to be shorter than the average caucasian person. There are exceptions to the average though. I believe the tallest person in the world whose height wasn't the result of any kind of deformity was asian. But I could be wrong.

Not to mention that there was a lot of inbreeding between different ethnicities through out history. I believe most japanese people who are native to the northern regions of japan have a lot of chinese and even european genetics in their ancestry. Most of their asian genes actually came after they settled northern japan via interbreeding.

And lets not forget races like the vikings, who raided a boatload of countries all across europe, took women of different races prisoner, and brought them back to their homeland as prizes of war. Where they no doubt conceived many children after being sold to the highest bidder.

the ratio of surface area of a smaller body is bigger than on a similar bigger body.
therefore the heat transition area is bigger.
because of that reason homoiotherm animals in colder climate tend to be bigger than their relatives in warmer climates.
for example the Siberian tiger is bigger than the asian jungle tigers.
it is called the rule of Bergmann.

and a lot of growth is due to nutrition.
south Korean people are much taller now than north Koreans.

You seem to think that anytime a taller population breeds with a smaller one, the resulting offspring are short. This is false. You seem to think that height remains static in a population. It doesn't.

Also the Vikings favorited taking home male slaves.
