*Race and Physical Differences*

"modern data now becoming available confirm many 19th century views...best evidence suggests that races differ markedly in such things as maturation rate, brain size, bone density, susceptibility to disease,...personality"

"The races differ in skin color because of different levels of melanin production. All races have approximately the same number of melanocytes, or melanin-making cells, but they differ in how actively the cells make melanin."

"Many East African peoples have elongated limbs and bodies that easily dissipate heat. North Asians, on the other hand, have evolved in a cold climate. Their bodies are more squat, they have thick, dark hair, and the epicanthic fold that gives Asians almond-shaped eyes is..."

"...thought to reduce glare from snow & ice...flat nose is less exposed to cold, & the virtual absence of facial hair means that condensation from a man’s breath will not freeze on his beard & chill his face... most obvious in the Asians who live in the coldest climates."

"Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is a chemical...To some people, it has a strong, bitter flavor, but to others it has no flavor at all. 70 % of Australian aborigines can taste PTC, but only 13 % of Navaho Indians can. 50 % of whites and about 38 % of Japanese can taste it."

"For whatever reasons, the races do not smell the same. Blacks and whites have strong, but differing smells, and many Asians have scarcely any smell. Koreans often have no odor-producing glands in their arm-pits at all and Japanese have very few."

"Though they may not always be willing to say so, sports physicians have found physical differences that give different races advantages in different sports... Even East and West Africans differ in important ways that explain why they excel in different sports."

"Because blacks have such dense bones, they are less buoyant and less likely to be swimming champions. However, their bones are more resistant to aging. After their mid-30s, white men lose about 2.5 percent of their bone mass every year. Blacks lose less than one percent."

"Studies have repeatedly found that black men have more of the male hormone testosterone in their blood than whites do. Testosterone is directly related to physical and sexual aggressiveness, but it also combines significantly with intelligence. Men who are intelligent but..."

"... who have high testosterone levels are likely to be more successful, socially and professionally, than intelligent men with low testosterone levels. Men who are unintelligent but who have high testosterone are more likely to be criminals than unintelligent men with..."

"... low testosterone. High crime rates among blacks are consistent with low intelligence and high testosterone."

"a survey of 20,000 skulls shows that the average size of the brain case in Asia is 1380 cc, while in Europe it is 1362 cc and in Africa 1276 cc."

"studies have found that the brains of American blacks are approximately 8 % lighter than those of American whites...1989 study...by using magnetic resonance scanning to determine skull capacity. Brain size was found to have a positive correlation of about 0.3 with intelligence."

"Not surprisingly, the bones within which brains reside can be markedly different. A child could distinguish between the skulls of Eskimos and Laplanders as easily as he could tell cucumbers from zucchinis."

"The skulls of Australian aborigines have characteristics not found in any other race, but common in fossils of pithecanthropus...The bones of the skull are twice as thick as those of any other race (10 mm v. 5 mm), and the skull has heavy frontal and parietal ridge lines..."

"... typical of pithecanthropus. The teeth and lower jaws of aborigines are also larger than those of other races, and more similar to those of our remote ancestors."

"It is little known that Africans have identical twins twice as frequently as Europeans — who in turn have..."

"... them twice as frequently as Asians. Some African populations have identical twins seven times as frequently as whites."

"Blacks also have shorter gestation periods than whites or Asians. By the 39th week, 51 percent of black babies have been born but only 33 percent of..."

"...whites. By the 40th week, the figures are 70 percent and 55 percent. Shorter gestation seems to be a characteristic of blacks that is independent of social status or access to medicine."

"Many African and black American newborns can hold their heads up whereas white and Asian newborns almost never can. The average age at which black children walk is 11 months, compared to 12 months for whites and 13 months for Asians."

"blacks reach sexual maturity earlier than whites. By age 12, 19 % of black girls have full development of breasts & pubic hair, whereas only two percent of white girls do. Black American women menstruate at an earlier age than white women."

"They then go on to have sexual intercourse for the first time at an average age that is two years younger than that of whites."

"the races do appear to differ in the size of their sex organs."

"blacks are better endowed than whites. In extensive interviews, they also found that black men at least report themselves to be less restrained than whites in their willingness to commit adultery, likelihood of frequenting prostitutes, and number of sexual partners."

"Somewhat comparable differences have been found between whites and Asians. Even after controlling for body size, Danes have testes that are proportionately twice the size of those of Chinese. Whites are also estimated to produce twice the number of spermatozoa per day as Asians"

"Earlier maturation and early sexual activity among blacks may have a biological price. In the United States, blacks, on average, can expect to die six years sooner than whites. Earlier maturation and early sexual activity among blacks may..."

"...have a biological price. In the United States, blacks, on average, can expect to die six years sooner than whites. Higher homicide, accident, and disease rates contribute to this difference, but it is entirely possible that blacks may also have a naturally shorter life span."

"In the United States, the most frequently reported medical differences concern blacks and whites. It is well known that only blacks suffer from sickle-cell anemia, for example, a condition that helps the body resist malaria, and is therefore a benefit in the African jungle."

"It has long been known that blood transfusions and organ transplants work best between people of the same race...The distribution of the common blood types is different from race to race, and some rare types are unique to certain races...."

"Kidneys and other organs are classified by race for similar reasons. About 20 percent of blacks are so genetically incompatible with whites that they reject organs from all white donors."

"Clearly, all these differences cannot be dismissed with the fashionable notion that race is nothing more than a matter of skin color."

"In his magisterial work, Race, John Baker suggests that certain racial groups are already so different from each other that they are not..."

".., technically speaking, the same species. Certain matings between extremely unrelated stocks — Bushmen and Europeans, for example — are thought to have produced only female children, or in some cases hybrids that could not mate successfully among themselves."

#RaceDifferences

"These are well-known signs of an unrelatedness that is so vast as to be verging on separation into different species."

"in the prehistoric past different races and sub-races probably avoided cross-breeding and behaved as if they were different species."

"in the prehistoric past different races and sub-races probably avoided cross-breeding and behaved as if they were different species...in nature, animals that are no more different from each other than northern Europeans and southern Europeans never breed with each other."/END
