"How can they tell how strong a toe was without having muscle tissue to examine? Bone size seems irrelevant. Europeans typically have larger bones in their feet than Asians do. So what?"
Bones respond to physical stress by getting bigger and denser. Even the ligament attachment points will get bigger and denser, and increase the surface area by becoming wavey. Stress from muscles action will do it. That is why you want to exerecise all your life to prevent osteoporosis and all the problems it causes.

Thanks.
I don't believe in exercise. To me it's the same as claiming that driving the hell out of your car will make it last longer. Doesn't make sense. I'll just drink lots of milk and hope for the best.
