Caribbean countries have top athletes because?

Question

only the fittest were allowed to reproduce, due to slavery. They are the best genes that Africa could produce, mixed only with some more best genes for about 200 years. Thus you get semi perfect people. Agree or disagree?

Answer 1

I agree totally!!!

They used to be breeded to be better than your average human...

And in Jamaica cricket is massive so they don't just do track sports...

This sounds a bit racist but it's not supposed to be, if you look at all the long distance athletes most of the good ones are north east African... something has to contribute to this and maybe it's there genes or skin pigment or something like that...

Answer 2

This is racist garbage. Its because in Jamica there aren't sports other then track. This is what they do, so they don't have kids who are fast playing football, soccer, basketball, swimming, diving... The best athletes all run because that is what they do there.

Answer 3

Small countries that couldn't compete at all events against giants like the Soviet Union and the US, pick niche games that are popular in their country and focus on that. Examples:

Cuba & Baseball

Southeast Europe & Water Polo

Brazil & Volleyball

Answer 4

Does finding the answer to that question make it easier for you to deal with you inadequacies?

Answer 5

disagree because being "fit" as you so call it, requires more than just genes. I can have great genes and also be a fat, lazy bum.

Answer 6

because they are the best sprinters

Answer 7

i don't think you can just generalize race and stuff. I mean it depends on what caribbean countries are interested in and invest more time in. In jamaica they are interested alot in athletics. And with some caribbean countries you have alot of people im guessing that want to do great things and expand their horizons. It's to do with talent but also commitment and enjoyment. And in western countries i guess some of the fun is taken out of sports because the coaching ignores the one thing that is important and that is fun! also access to just the basic facilities. I mean i feel generally people of african descent are physically stronger, which is a great advantage but you got have the desire to be the best. But i don't want to generalize this stuff coz that might not be the case.

well this question is quite hard, so i gave it my best shot!

Hope this helps!

Answer 8

Well, you seem to think so, so I wouldn't like to ruin your theories.
