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.

ROFL!!! You`ve GOT to be kidding.
He tho kute en menly
Your average Roman soldier wouldn’t last a day up against a US Marine.
But we also have the ability to change our genetics, and that ability will improve over time.
Good on ya!
I’m serious.
“How many highways did Neanderthals build? How many rockets did they launch?”
Thats not the point. The point is that the human race is physically becoming weaker and weaker,.
you might be good but like I said .
Most men in the Boston area/north east I found were like girlie men, not sure if it was because they were mainly students at these expensive schools but honestly from my experience the north east seems to have the most of the girlie men.
I like how you said the important things, I agree with that.
we have what you do not ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, alligator hunting.
There is a saying here.
The north part of FL is still the old south and we’re proud of it.
The southern part of the state is the north
All these people that were so much stronger than us left notarized statements to that effect did they?
Serously now, it was not a case of them being “stronger” it was a case of the strongest surviving. The weak died off. They had little support in a world of eat or be eaten, kill or be killed.
Good Lord. Where do they find guys willing to write stuff like this.
you write: “Thats not the point. The point is that the human race is physically becoming weaker and weaker,.”
That is not the case; it is a case of the weaker & weaker now surviving in a world that has largely been tamed of the danger that decimated earlier peoples.
Why has the human life expectancy increased so much over the past couple of centuries if we are getting weaker?
I’ve been called gay (jokingly I think) because I get my hair cut every week.
It doesn’t bother me in the least, but is it gay to maintain a clean-cut look?
Neanderthals, hiding in a cave while the animal kingdom ruled the day.
Speaking of “-scaping” the trend with women seems to be devolving into prepubescence. IMO, yucky.
No, this clown simply buys into every leftwing criticism of modern society that comes along. And the clown is likely a wuss himself, which is why he buys into the flawed notion he’s pushing in this thread.
As the Chinese philosopher Liau Tang said, "Happiness is being able to get your hair cut every couple of weeks and watching your industrious neighbor take a tumble off his roof."
I swiped the picture from an thread (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2364770/posts) about him. He's a champion arm wrestler, so I suppose he just exercises that arm.
Being a real man means much much more than just having muscles and drinking beer by the keg and being able to kick the living shit out of somebody.
Perhaps...but as a 285lb guy who’s been lifting weights for 25 years and trains with a muay thai fighter 4x per week...there’s a certain level of satisfaction to be derived from having the ability to kill someone with your bare hands
In a battle of brains v. brawn, brains will win everytime, as long as it’s not within arm’s length of brawn.
