My friend keeps telling me that black people are not the same as everyone else. He says that they are a completely different species than anyone who is not black. He also told me that they have extra muscles in their legs and that is why so many black people can run fast.

Does anyone know if any of this is true? My friend is almost always right about lots of things...he's a very smart guy.

Please let me know...Thanks!!!!!!

also, he says that this is proven by science but that it is not well known because the bush administration hides this information so as not to upset the black people and create riots throughout the country. I'm not sure about what he is telling me, but since everything else he says is usually accurate, I am not sure

different species of dogs can mate, so blacks and other species of humans being able to mate does not mean that they are the same species..right?

Blacks, Austrailan Aborigines and Indians(not from India though) are part of a group of people who were experimental humans that were made by God BEFORE he created Adam. Adam of the BIBLE is only roughly 6000 years old. But science can certainly prove someone was here on Earth long before that. All people living on Earth today have the SAME mitochondrial DNA as everyone else. This is maternal DNA that you get only from your mother. We can trace this DNA to the humanoid "Lucy" that was found in Africa and that has been carbon dated to I believe some 2.5 or 3 million years old. So All people are somewhat related, but chimpanzees also share almost 99% of the same DNA as we do.The blacks and Aborigines and Indians were part of the group that God told to go forth and replenish the Earth in Genisis before he made Adam and Eve and placed them in the Garden of Eden. They( Adam and Eve) were supposed to live forever and not die and they were to be God's company so he could, as it says he did, come down and visit with them. But when they sinned God sent them out of the Garden to live among the other people who were living outside the Garden who were His experimental people before he created a PERFECT being, ADAM. These people are not of the ORIGINAL JEWISH lineage. They had not become civilized like the rest of mankind until civilization came to them in the 20th century and tried to bring them out of the stone age which they were and which some are still living in. So blacks, Indians and Aborigines are a different people than the rest of mankind. About them being able to run faster and jump higher. Remember that the American blacks were specifically breed like animals so that the bucks would be big and strong and the women could produce many babies. There has been a scientific study done though that proves as a whole that people whose ring finger is longer than thier index finger have a larger lung capacity and are able to generally physically outpreform those whose index finger is longer than their ring finger. The longer the ring finger the better. Look at your fingers and those of the opposite sex. A woman's index finger is almost assurd to be longer than her ring finger. A man's ring finger is almost assurd to be longer than his index finger. This denotes the amount of tetosterone that the embryo recieved in the womb. Then look at Gay people. You will probably find that a lesbian's ring finger is as long or longer than her index finger. A Gay man's index finger is probably as long or longer than his ring finger thus denoting a smaller amount of testosterone therby leaving him with feminine characteristics.

If they were really a different species in a scientific sense, they would not produce viable offspring if other humans mated with them. If a white person and a black person have a baby, that baby will be able to produce children with other humans.

Dogs are a very, very bad analogy to draw, as their family tree is significantly more complicated than ours. Black people do not have extra muscles in their legs. Your friend is probably referring to the idea that black people have more "fast twitch" muscle fibers, which supposedly makes them better sprinters. Such a theory has been around since before 2000 (and it's a higly contested theory), so it's unlikely the Bush administration has been suppressing the theory. If black people actually had more muscles in their legs, it would have been known about long, long ago.

I don't know what else your friend has been right about, but he's dead wrong about this. I'm gonna call him a racist on this one.

Race is determined primarily by cranial differences and this is done by those who have formal education in this discipline.
Those who also have similar training can see racial differences in the way the brain tissue is formed. For example the Sub Saharan [classic] negroe's grey matter is less fissured and convoluted on the exterior surface than that of the caucasian's. This pattern of developement is consistent with that of the chimpanzee and the gorilla.

oh this has got to be one of the most ignorant things I've heard yet! No, they are NOT a different species....we are ALL human beings...all the same breed!! While dogs have poodles, rottweilers, beagles and shepherds, we have whites, blacks, asians, etc....see? It just needs to be put in a different perspective. There's an old saying "believe half of what you see and none of what you hear".

And Bush (for once) has nothing to do with this.

Sounds like your friend is a major conspiracy theorist!
While there may be small differences in the different races, nothing as drastic as that has ever been shown. Aside from things like skin tone, hair texture, and slight variations in bone structure, etc, the make up of the human body is pretty much the same from race to race.
Hope you don't put a lot of stock in the things your friend tells you.....

So this question poses a problem. All other races are of the human species except blacks? tsk tsk tsk the answer is NO..need the points

Its not true. Their anatomy is the same as anyone else's. Also different species cannot interbreed. Whites/Blacks/Any other type of humans can interbreed without difficulty.

P.S. Please note that a "dog" is a single specie . . . they are bred so that a certain colour or characteristic may predominate, but they are stil members of the same specie.

If you believe your friend, tell him to provide you with some sort of creditable publication that is backed by the science community. I guarantee it doesn't exist because I majored in physical anthropology and work in forensics. Therefore, I have taken more anatomy classes, physiology classes, and more morphology classes than your friend could ever imagine. It sounds like your friend is some sort of conspiracy buff who actually knows jack about the anatomy of muscle attachments. In fact, if I provided you with two pictures of muscle attachments of human legs (one black and one white) I guarantee your friend couldn't tell them apart. So your friend is wrong and you can throw his statement back in his face.
Forensically speaking, differences in ethnicity's ONLY exist in facial bones and that is how ethnicity is determined in forensic cases.

I am not expert by far, however, I do believe that the only differences in physical characteristics that exist between the races are in the facial and skull bones of some individuals. Besides of course the color of some of our skin tones, some lighter, some darker. All lovely. I think you should tell your friend to give you some valid published proof to this conspiracy he is trying to get started. You should watch your friend, I think he is using to many drugs. "Thanks for the laugh" God bless****

To answer your question succinctly, NO and NO.

And don't believe everything you see and read, especially on this thread. Wow, I so wish I didn't share a common genetic heritage with some of these people.
