Do black people have an extra muscle in there legs to make them run faster?

Answer 1

Racial sterotypical overgeneralization. There has been some scientific theories/evidence that sprinters with ancestry to west African tribes have more fast twitch muscle fibers, however, to apply this theory generally to all blacks is ridiculous. This leads to ridiculous theories like blacks in America are more athletic because strong slaves were favored and blacks in America are less intelligent for the same reason. Its racism played out through generalizations.

Answer 2

no. it depends on the person. there could be a really athletic caucasian and a really really athletic African American. the person that is more athletic would most likely win.

If you are asking oer head of population the results speak for themselves. The only person of non-African descent that got under 10 seconds is an indigenous Australian.

Answer 3

No, black people are not better athletes. Check out the Olympic Games, which includes all sports around the planet. People of all races stand atop the podium. The mistake people are making is that they are only considering American pro sports (i.e. NBA & NFL) when they say blacks are better athletes. Who is the best swimmer, soccer player, tennis player, weightlifter, Baseball player, etc. of all times? Better expand your list of sports before trumpeting an opinion.

Answer 4

Blacks aren't better at sports as a race, but it is true that the number of African-Americans successful in sports is disproportional to their population in the U.S. There are several theories, many of which may be true:

1. DNA research has found that Africans have some of the most diverse DNA, which means they have some of the best andworst athletes.
2. Racism and slavery in our past has caused poverty for many African-Americans, and good athletes can escape poverty via sports. Whites who are good athletes are less likely to pursue sports since they are most likely richer.
3. The environment in Africa meant that lineages with athletic bodies were more likely to survive and reproduce, while those who were poor athletes began to die out due to natural selection (e.g. they got eaten by lions because they couldn't run fast enough, and they never had children who inherited their bad athletic abilities, while those who outrun the lions had children who inherited good athletic abilities.)
