people of african origin(blacks)have differences physically from white people?

Question

like denser bones wish is why you never have or will ever see a black swimming gold medalist and they also have bigger hip structures which makes blacks so sood a sprinting...what other anatomiac and phisical differences are there?

Answer 1

The anatomical differences you have listed in your question are incorrect. First of all, differences in race are difficult to determine from bones do to the fact that we as a whole are becoming more and more blended over time. Second, determining differences between race in forensic anthropology are mostly based on facial features such as shape of incisors, orbital shape, etc. Notice that the differences involve the cranium. Anything involving post cranial remains would be very difficult if not almost impossible to determine race.

Answer 2

This is a very good quesiton. It is actually scientifically established that there are five different variations on the homo Sapien that corresponds with their continents.

They did an article about this in the National Geographic back in the 1990's, although this discovery is MUCH older than that.

From the top of my head I recall these subgroups

Caucasoid-Caucasians
Mongloid-Asians
Negroid-Africans



And then there are two other groups that correspond with the middle eastern countries and American Indians.
I'm not sure where countries such as India, Spain and italy would fit in, I assume they would be a mix of the two surrounding variations.

Look it up on wikipedia, you'll definitely find sources and names and dates if it's for an assignment.

So yes, Africans would have different bone structures to Caucasians.

Answer 3

I have a mixed race friend who likes to wear her hair long. She spends such a long time trying to straighten her hair with lotions and sprays and electrical straighteners. She puts in so much effort and the end result lasts for such a short time. Full of frustration one day, she said to me " You know we are not meant to have our hair long, I`m sure of it!" Of course she was right.The dark thick curls are there for a purpose, to protect the head from the suns` heat, not to grow long where it would increase the heat to the head and body. In this same way western people have fine hair to allow the heat to leave the head. The differences in races are for a purpose, they are not there just to make us look different.

Answer 4

The most notable and prominent are the facial features they still use these today. That is why it is easier to identify skeletal remains if a skull is present. Check out anything on forensic anthropology if you need more info.

Answer 5

There really are not very many differences, since all races of people have at least one relative from Africa....it also has to do with environment and the diet....Source Cultural Anthropology

Answer 6

Contrary to above, Africans are not a different species. There is just one human species, one human race.

We are all descended from Noah 4000 years ago or so, and there is very little genetic difference between any of us. Even skin colour is a tiny genetic difference - we are all a shade of brown - just depends how much melanin we produce, as to whether we are paler or darker.

Answer 7

there is more genetic difference between two fruit flys than there is between humans of any "race". You will find different genetic characteristics spread across and within all races.Race is a socially constructed concept , nothing more.

Answer 8

From fossil records, there are different species of man, as there probably is today. Cats, dogs, primates etc. all perhaps with some slight modification to their physical form due to their physical enviroment

Some idiots would accuse me of racism for the comment above, but after all we are all homeo-sapien, etc., etc, to what ever sub-species; not as certain groups/philosophers/ideologies would state sub-human.

I honestly don't care, it's the people themselves, what ever race creed or colour, that count.

Answer 9

I understood that we all evolved from Homo Sapiens which originated in central africa, and as a result we are ALL of african origin!

Answer 10

the two are racists, yet a White Nationalist is a white individual who thinks that their u . s . a . is the terrific, and a White Supremacist is a individual who thinks their race is the terrific.
