Oh, wait. Here's one:

[[Entine has put together a well-researched, relatively thorough and lucidly
written case, arguing that in many sports?particularly basketball, football,
and track and field?athletes of African descent show a competitive advantage

he asserts that "there is extensive and persuasive research that elite black
athletes have a phenotypic advantage?a distinctive skeletal system and
musculature, metabolic structures, and other characteristics forged over
tens of thousands of years of evolution. While people of African descent
have spent most of their evolutionary history near to where they originated,
the rest of the world's populations have had to modify their African
adaptations after migrating to far different regions and climates."
]]

Your turn, Pin Head. Go ahead and prove the negative.

Cute.

Set up a straw man, knock it down, and then invite refutatuion of
something nobody ever questioned in the first place.

Bigots aren't very bright.

Is that what this is about? Bigotry? I thought we were talking about Olympic
performance and phenotypic advantages. Never mind then.

Poor research technique OR he faked his data. I've refularly gone on
long hikes and road marches. Care to guess what people fell out
first? ;^) I give you a hint They guys over 30 did fall out. I mean
what is the problem people it is JUST a little 12 mile walk with a
minimum of 30# on your back, a M16/M4 in your hands, K-pot. Good gosh
you get a whole 3 hours to finish. Yes the road is anything but level,
straight or paved in anyway.
p.s. I could do it 3:05 BUT unlike most I would be good for another 12
miles.

I won't disagree with ya, but that's a different universe than Olympian
athletes, isn't it? For athletes in top condition, used to the stress of
exertion and not carrying emotional and physical baggage, even the small
advantage from some slight anatomic difference is huge. This is the case of
"all else being equal". For your forced marches, one less Twinkie the night
before after lights out will show in their performance. It's like my
bike. You can put on power add-ons you like and it still won't make a
difference in my lap times. For the top contenders, though, cheating just a
few extra cc of displacement will let him walk away from the field. Or
something like that...
