Why do most African Americans have big lips?

Question

Okay, I'm really not trying to be racist. Really. I'm just curious about why different races have different traits. Is there an evolutionary reason? Or is it just random?

Answer 1

i starting to notice whoever asking those question about black , then sudden all said RACIST.

They must be one of them too.

Answer 2

I don't know ask GOD . I mean big lips how about full lips in which people are paying thousands of dollars to have .  Make up company's are making millions of dollars promising fuller lips.  I mean a why does most whites have pencil thin lips . or no lip at all .  I mean if you want to go there lations , african americans,  have a lot of traits about them that america is paying to have. FROM FULL LIPS , BIG BUTTS , TAN OR BROWN SKIN . I mean God knew what he was doing.

Funny how the most pretties white women in hollywood tend to have ethnic traits. Like Angelina Jo lie and Charlie Thorton   .

Answer 3

That's the way God wanted them to be and there are other races who have big lips.  Take a look at movie stars, some of them are having their lips made bigger but they call it making their lips fuller.  Well if you knew they do not choose their freaking traits as you said then why ask the question about African Americans lips.  

Answer 4

It's not a bad question. It's just a curious question. But in the name of objectivity you might want to ask why do Africans have bigger lips than whites and Asians. Rather than just saying they're big- because it's like, big to who? You might as well ask why whites have small lips instead.

But that's not too important I think. I also wonder about physical differences. Why do east Asians have those eye folds... why do eastern Europeans and Middle Easterners have more hair... why do Africans have more tightly curled hair... why are northern Europeans taller...

It's just curiosity... curiosity is natural. I don't know the answer to these questions ... except that dark skin blocks harmful sunlight. There is a lot that I dont know. It's natural to be curious.

Answer 5

Ask God and he will tells you.

Answer 6

There is no cogent evolutionary reason for it, it just happened, the same way we are more well-endowed below the waist.

Answer 9

well i dont see why its a problem because many people want collegan

... its in their genes

Answer 10

Now I'm even madder than I was when I answered the last question. You wanna know wanna know what I call this question?! Racism... no...stupidity...kinda... THIS IS A COMMON DISEASE I CALL IGNORANCE!! Who did you catch it from... your parents yes. And how old are you, 16 years old? Oh really... I guessed five. Have you ever learned about genetics in school kiddo, or was it too boring for you to pay attenion and learn something? The answer is genetics, the study of genes. Genes are the traits passed down...

Answer 11

thats just how GOD made us... how are we supposed to answer that.. i find your question to be rather ignorant... we dont choose our traits..

Answer 12

To kiss better with ,among other things.

Answer 13

Why do most Caucasians have small lips?

Why do most Asians have slanted eyes?

Why do most Arabs have strong noses?

Answer 14

this is silly question.

Answer 15

Where is your proof of this? There's a difference between a stereotype and scientific fact. It is a fact that blacks(along with most nonwhites) tend to have flat noses. But I have never heard a scientist say blacks have large lips

Answer 16

  Its suppose to be all about location almost like adapting to the environmentnt I once read in article where asians have narrow eyes because where the light hits there country and that eventually adapted in the genetic code and I also read our dark skin (I'm black) protects us from the sun. So maybe some where we needed big lips.
