What parts of the world can the mesomorph body type trace it's roots to?

Question

This is the naturally slender, lean, toned, wide at the shoulders, narrow at the waist, builds muscle and burns fat more easily that people of ectomorph and endomorph bodytypes.

I was wondering what kind of lifestyle and climate exposure caused this bodytype, as it's my bodytype. I was also wondering if my love for protein rich foods (meat and eggs) had anything to do with my mesomorph ancestry.

Answer 1

if you are interested in ANCIENT origins for you.. look into dna testing, which can give background on that.

I think your assumption that body type is traceable is extremely unreliable.

Answer 2

This might be hereditary but I don't think it has anything to do with racial or etnicities.

In genealogy we trace ancestry with documentation.  Genetics questions would be under biology and you might get better answers.  On the Home Screen of Yahoo Q & A on the left pick Science and Mathematics and then Biology.

Answer 3

I think a "body type" is sort of "pre-designed" once in the womb. The hormones and such you come in contact in the womb probably gave you the "body-type" you have now.

Answer 4

With the description you gave, I would answer "Science Fiction".

I have traced my Dad's ancestry back to early 1400's in Germany; my Mom's to the Middle East before Christ (I know; not reliable).

My DNA (mtDNA AND yDNA) show ancestry from just about all over the globe. So, if everyone's DNA is as mixed as mine, there would be no-such body type as you describe! Just like one of the other poster's insisting there is a "Jewish nose"!~
