"'You are the worst man in history'"

I thought this was about Keith Olberdouche.

Blah blah blah....I could high jump 6’ 6” In High school, while standing just under 5’. I could grab rim and I am white. Of course an animal like what is called a Neanderthal woman could out arm wrestle Ahnold. Chimpanzees are many times stronger than the strongest man, it is the way they are built.

You can always find animals that are stronger, faster and tougher than any man alive today. The strength with humans has always been our brains, that have allowed us to develop tools that mean we don’t have to be physically stronger, faster or tougher than all the other animals. That’s why humans rule the earth and other animals don’t.
Its also why being big, strong and tough within the small pond of humanity doesn’t mean they’re going to be the most successful at life compared to the pencil-necked geek who was always better at school than they were....

The weakest men in history are probably those of the last 40 years...purely because so many of them spent their lives sitting behind desks and never did any physical exercise.

But things are changing.

Folks still sit behind desks but now the gyms are packed. I moved to a small town in 2001 (having spent my career in NYC and a few other cities where people exercise)...and when I arrived there was only one gym and it was empty. Now there are 5 gyms and they are packed from 6:30 am until 9:00 pm. At my gym, there is even a long waiting list for the spin classes.

Many of the folks at the various gyms are heart patients who have been sent there by the docs and some are even morbidly obese.

But they are getting with the program and getting fit.

Very uplifting!

"Manthropology"; "His conclusions about the speed of Australian aboriginals 20,000 years ago are based on a set of footprints, preserved in a fossilized claypan lake bed, of six men chasing prey."

These and other eye-catching claims are detailed in a book by Australian anthropologist Peter McAllister entitled "Manthropology" and provocatively sub-titled "The Science of the Inadequate Modern Male".

Most desk-bound males are of average intelligence, capable of reading, walking -- at least to a refrigerator and lifting 20 pounds. These abilities are sufficient to overcome knuckle-draggers living in a pristine would-be-world, who are idolized in the story above. Even aging, fat, unathletic cubicle bound males would be able to "overcome" their braichiating yester-year counterparts and do so at several hundred yards.

An inexpensive metal lathe can be purchased for less than $1000.00 US. A fluted gun drill can be purchased for $150.00. 22 inches of Cro-Moly 4045 barrel steel can be purchased easily or hardened axle rod steel purchased from a junkyard could be used in a pinch. Lathe milling attachment plans can be Googled and other rifle parts can be easily manufactured by hand. Parts made and assembled along with ammo would be game, set and match.

All in all, troglodytes from our past as described above wouldn't stand a chance against modern man.

Ludicrous.

Human beings have never been as healthy, tall, well nourished, and as intelligent as today (intelligence is correlated with height, nourishment and health).

Human size and health did ‘take a hit’ from our early hunter gatherer fore-bearers, when they became civilized and started city living that was rife with food deprivation and rampant disease - but 1000 city folk can and did hunt down and kill those 100 healthy hunter gatherers that the same region would support - so hunting/gathering went the way of the dodo for most human societies.

But the food deprivation and rampant diseases of city living have largely been eliminated in modern nations.

The “giant” Vikings were shorter than your average American male. I am 6'3” and would have been a “giant” back in the Middle Ages.

With the exception of horses in westerns, Do you know of any animal that can 26 miles non stop?

Modern man invented the internet. Cavemen invented rape. Modern man wins!

Those Neanderthal women sound pretty intense; no doubt they might have cracked one’s head between their thighs like a walnut in a nutcracker.

But... whatta a way to go!
