I don't mean to sound like an ****** or anything, but what group of people have the most advantageous genes compared to other groups of people. I am talking about like races, but I just want a simple answer with some scientific backup. Please don't say negative things about this question.

  1. None. Please look it up in a science textbook. The best example of saw of this was on the Oprah Winfrey show. They should a fish tank full of marbles. The marbles represent one's genetics. Only two of the many marbles determines the person's race. Even if there were any advantages to a particular marble, and none have been proven, it would not make a huge impact overall.  


  2. First what do you mean by advantageous? The best looking the

    strongest? the most long lived? You have to clarify the question.

  3. I don't know about genes or anything but African Americans have got it going for them. People welcome diversity nowadays so you see all these chicks chasing after black guys. If they are prospective university students, they have a better chance of admissions. They look tight and soon, our president will be African American.

  4. You have a really good question. really I think it depends on where you are from. Like it has to do with food, and what types of work they do. Like Americans typically live longer than say Africans because of the standard of living environments. Blacks have a larger risk of heart related illness Ive heard. So I'm guessing that whites in general have a better advantage.

    I am in no way dissing any races.I'm sorry if my answer has offended anyone, though I doubt it has. It was not intended to upset anyone , I do not judge by color I judge my mind.

  5. It's an interesting question but I don't think there is any one race with more advantages than another.  It's all relative.  Blacks are at higher risk of heart disease and can carry a gene that carries sickle cell anemia, which is a very nasty disease.  However, studies suggest that those who carry the gene for sickle cell are able to combat malaria (showing that the gene may be a failed adaptation to malaria-ridden environments).  On the flip side, their skin would prove to be an advantage in equitorial regions where UV rays would fry a white person or others with lighter skin.  And most general studies show that local diet and lifestyle plays a more important role than genetics.
