What role did genetic freaks play during human evolution? Obviously the guy in this Pic benefits from modern training and nutrition. But he surely would have been an elite hunter/warrior in primitive times right?

Not really. For hunter-gatherers it is a lot more important with stamina than explosive muscles.

This guy is probably from Western Africa, which is a quite resourceful place. Since fruits, vegetables, sea food and meat is not scarce, human males can use their energy surplus to exhibit and grow muscles. Like most of the feathers of a peacock is completely useless, it's just to attract the opposite gender for mating.

"Look at me, I am a great harvester, so I can use all these extra calories to grow these completely useless feathers that is actually a disadvantage in the jungle."

he would've still wound up selling himself short on a shitty rock ball team with trash offense and management

Does it really matter if you can run 100m in 10.5s instead of 9.8s? Humans are smart tribe animal

Multiple brief high intensity actions can be useful when reacting to danger.

He is a genetic freak for the sport he plays. His sport requires a great mix of strength and power, and the position he plays benefits from him having long limbs. If survival depended on fitting into small crevice to hide from predators, he is by definition a genetic dead end.

NTA Pic is a 500m runner. You can probably figure oug what that implies.

>modern training and nutrition
you mean roids?

All that evolutionary induced genetic mutations didn't help him realize that signing long term with the Browns is a retarded thing to do no matter how much money they offer.

>>16829777
No?
Explain your point retard

>>16829115
Why would stamina be more important? If you mean that mene running hunting technique, very few groups practised it
>>
>>16830290
>Explain your point retard
Nta, but specializing your body for speed will inevitably result in concessions in terms of strength and stamina.
>Why would stamina be more important
Also nta, but stamina is used for a lot more than just hunting. Everything Hunter Gatherers did was very labour intensive compared to anything we're used to.
