You just like to be an asshole, huh? You're wrong also. There are hereditary traits that would be passed down to the offspring of two physically superior parents, though maybe not as extreme as you suggested.
well duh. of course there are traits passed down to kids.....i'm just saying that it's not like buff slaves make buff babies.
When your dad is 6'6" and has the body structure of a water buffalo it's passed down, obviously muscle isn't but when your that big and a slave your going to be strong.
Obviously the child isn't going to be born ripped, but they will have a physical advantage over other children.
Regularguy... I think you need to go study something about Mendel, his works, and then re-evaluate what you said.Now, I think you're taking it to an extreme with your example. Obviously a buff guy and a buff women are not going to produce a buff child all the time. But, if you selectively breed humans for hundreds of years to produce the type of human you want, and you mate the stronger slaves more often, there will be more genes in the gene pool that will create strong, athletic black people. That is a proven scientific fact.Obviously not all African-Americans are more athletic than white people or any other race, but African-Americans as a race produce more athletes and naturally produce a higher percentage of athletes because of their inherited traits and their athletically superior gene pool.
