Why is the location of the bellybutton different for different races?

Question

Is there any research on this issue?

Answer 1

what planet are you from?  on my planet earth, everyone everywhere have their bellybutton on their belly, hence the word bellybutton

Answer 2

Not in America—location is different only if they live in different countries..

Answer 3

joke

Answer 4

Oy veigh... YES EVERYONE'S BELLY BUTTON IS ON THEIR STOMACH! HE'S NOT STUPID! He probably means that the location of the belly button is slightly higher or lower in certain races due to evolution. I've never heard about that, and I couldn't find anything on google, but if it would be really fun to try to figure out....

Hmmm... assuming it's true... maybe it could have to do with varying methods of clipping the umbilical cord.... Or maybe the fetus is formed slightly differently in different races? I have no idea how the fetus is formed and how the umbilical cord works so I don't even know if the size/location of the fetus would affect it...

Interesting...

Answer 20

Here we go again, another person with a racist question. In all my years of research and education I have never come across such a thing. Yes there are different shapes of bellybuttons and ones that stick out or in. However, that is totally based on weight, diet, overall size, and how the doctor tied off the umbilical cord. Other than that, you’re skating on thin ice.

Answer 21

why?

Answer 22

My wife is Chinese and I am white and using the pelvis as a reference we are the same.
