    Running for food might have been true in the past but most Africans today live in relatively modern society.

      @@ogreman-lll-957 We all have long-distance hunting genes. All humans were hunters and gatherers until fairly recently, from a few thousand to a few hundred years ago. Not enough time for evolution to develop significant differences in genes. It's the reason why any healthy person today is capable of running a marathon with enough training.

    That "running for food" statement, is profoundly and fundamentaly wrong. No one here in Africa hunt to eat everyday, unless you're part of an isolated or very conservative tribe, which is the very minority, and in some countries almost inexistent. Although there are indeed other factors, combined with hard work, that make east-africans good distance runners, such as long legs, long achilles tendons, high altitude environment, and a good mentality

      @Bosniak Slayer you're right mate, thank you for the observation. The condition for cattle is an interesting factor, because the famous Kenyan tribe that produced the runners that dominate long distance running, have a long tradition in cattle breeding, just like the surrounding east-african countries like Sudan, and Ethiopia being dominant in the races too. That they actually measured health on how much cattle one have. The factor for their good performance is way far from being "running for food"

    It's more the high altitude of a lot of east African countries, like Ethiopia, due to less oxygen in the air their red blood cells are massively more efficient with Oxygen. As they are to heat and UV radiation, as Russians are to cold and Asians are to surviving civil wars that kill 95% of their population

    I think it’s a byproduct of the climate, if it’s hot you need a slimmer build. Africans those East African and especially Nilotic Africans are very slender. In Europe and Asia being slender meant you would freeze to death especially in the past when there was an ice age.
