LONDON (Reuters) - Many prehistoric Australian aboriginals could have outrun world 100 and 200 meters record holder Usain Bolt in modern conditions.

Some Tutsi men in Rwanda exceeded the current world high jump record of 2.45 meters during initiation ceremonies in which they had to jump at least their own height to progress to manhood.

Any Neanderthal woman could have beaten former bodybuilder and current California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in an arm wrestle.

I believe it. Over thousands of years, we have become a weaker and weaker species. Even Schwarzenegger, with all his bodybuilding and strength, if he was somehow transported back to the time of the Neanderthals, he would have been seen by the other males as weak and told to stay with the women while they went hunting.

Over thousands of years, we have become a weaker and weaker species.

As individuals we may be weaker. But as a species we are stronger than ever.

That is why our brains got bigger. If the strongest neanderthal ever born came running at you, the invention of a bow and arrow, gun, cannon, sword ec. would make him the weaker opponent.

And thn Schwarzenegger would invent reading, writing, and arithmatic, and he’d be annointed priest-king of the entire tribe.

Maybe they had a better incentive to run faster.

They must have been interviewing GOP members of congress

Exhibit B.

I agree with that.

Look around now especially in the north east. Many men act like women, talk much more girlie and have emotions like women.

Anyone ever see that programme called wife swap?
they had a woman from FL(my state) who was bringing their sons up doing tap dance, ballet and was raising them to be girls.

I’ve joked with my wife how we hope that there are some men left by the time my daughter leaves school.

It is the left who are making boys into girls. They stop them from fighting, tell them to cry and it’s alright, stop them in some cases of wanting to win in sports, stop games in the playground like Tag, dodgeball.

It is pathetic how these lefty women want girlie boys

That is why our brains got bigger. If the strongest neanderthal ever born came running at you, the invention of a bow and arrow, gun, cannon, sword ec. would make him the weaker opponent.

Indeed, the human brain is almost always considered to be an unnatural element in science, for reasons that totally escape me.

Most large predators are superior to men, unless we pick up a weapon, but we do pick up weapons, so its a mute point. Dismissing the human brain is like dismissing that birds have wings.

Exhibit C.

I could go on for hours posting liberal "men"... but you get the point...

[manc]

correct.

My sons doing boxing and it is amazing that some women and even men think that boys should not fight and would never let their little johnny have a fight, do sports or get rough and tumble.

All this pathetic sensitive training should be stopped as well, just like when a boy falls the lefty women run right over and say are you alright, dear, do you want a band aid.

Er nothing there, stop the play acting , there is nothing there and get up and play. so what if it is raining for heavens sake, so what if you get muddy.

The left would love to see men as a bunch of ponces who cry like little girls.

“Roman legions completed more than one-and-a-half marathons a day carrying more than half their body weight in equipment.”

Wow. And whats the length of a marathon? 20 miles?

he would have been seen by the other males as weak and told to stay with the women while they went hunting.

Then while the stronger males get stomped on or tusked by the woolly mammoths, the weak and the near sighted are convincing the women that the best berries and roots are "over there behind the rocks" and then passing on their weak and nearsighted genes.

We have the National Association of Hags and the gay mafia to thank for all this. My son is one and he is very active. Some days he doesn't even take a nap. He just goes and goes. We've noticed that during play, he never goes around something to get what he wants. He always just barrels right over or through the obstacle. This is important to us. I will not have teachers, public or private, tell me that my son is too agitated and won't settle down. I know there is a time and place for just sitting and listening, but my son will not be emasculated because he is a boy.
