I think that even David Reich would agree that most people in prehistoric times did not migrate.

I admit that Reich is better credentialed than Wade (although Wade is not just a talking head). I think that Wade and Reich might agree on the facts but just have different interpretations of those facts. I go with Wade over Reich for two reasons: 1# Wade's reasoning about why hunter-gatherer...

You did not understand it right

Yes. I said something to this effect in the OP. I pointed out that everything is relative. My opinion is that Wade's take on this is more accurate than Reich's .

That's not up to me. I am not a moderator

I've read three books about the history of humanity in prehistoric times: Before the Dawn: Recovering the Lost History of Our Ancestors by Nicholas Wade and A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race, and Human History also by Nicholas Wade and Who We Are and How We Got Here by David Reich. In...

If you are the coach of the team on offense, you want the quarterback to see downfield . So you would not pick tall offensive Linemen for the purpose of blocking the quarterback's view downfield. So that reason would only apply to defensive Linemen. Frankly, the height of the defensive Linemen...

I am totally baffled by your quote above this sentence. First of all, what the heck does "the defenders" mean? I think you might have got the words defensive and offensive mixed up in the first sentence. Offensive Linemen push/run at the defensive Linemen to prevent the defensive Linemen...

Get on Google and ask AI "what weight class of boxers generally make the most money?" See what it says.

Heavyweights have generally made more money than middleweights throughout history. Mayweather is an anomaly. Mayweather would have made even more money if he had beat the contemporary heavyweight champions of the world during his career: Wladimir Klitschko and Tyson Fury. But Mayweather never...

He said that the odds of the big man winning are so much better that the odds of the little man winning are indistinguishable from zero.

So your one rep maximum bench press was 300 lbs? That's pretty strong. How many years did it take to get up to a 300 lb bench press?

No Yeah

I agree with EVERYTHING you wrote in the above quote 100%. However, I am totally baffled as to how what you wrote in the quote above makes you think that comparing the heights of NFL football limemen to the general population isn't very helpful. It is very helpful for making the point of why...

There is no maximum or minimum heights for NFL Lineman. So NFL Lineman is far better for my point. People are not allowed to compete as sumo wrestlers in Japan unless they are 5'8" or taller. So the answer to your question is 5'8" or taller .
