I believe that if a person's ancestors were warriors and hunters they have better genetics when it comes to stuff like strength based activities and dimorphism.
Here are a few reasons why I speculate this:
- Nordics have some of the highest Yamnayan/Steppe DNA in the entire world
- Also are one of the strongest races
EHGs carried variants associated with taller stature, especially compared to early Neolithic farmers who migrated into Europe from the Near East.
They contributed genetically to later populations like the Yamnaya, who were also notably tall — averaging around 5'10" to 6' (178–183 cm), which was very tall for prehistoric times. And guess what these guys ate: FUCKING MAMMOTHS.
Modern north-European strongmens (Scandinavia, Finland, Baltic) are related to Yamnaya ancestry (or rather Western Steppe Herders), who were mix of Eastern Hunter Gatherers and Caucasian Hunter Gatherers.
Caucasus Hunter Gatherers. Probably high level of testosterone comes with them. Because the same situation is observed for all ethnic groups of Caucasus, Balkans, Carpaths. Balkan and Carpathian people also carry genes of Caucasian Hunter Gatherers.
Hunter gatherers in neolithic were bigger and stronger than the Anatolian neolithic farmers who were below average in height. Most people of Anatolian ancestry today are mainly southern Europeans (meds).
I am sure sexual selection played a role as well, but what do you guys think?
yes, hunting screened for (applied evolutionary pressure) endurance, eyesight, coordination, strength.
things change, things circle back around. right now, white men (white Y chromosomes) are undergoing a genetic filtering event, a genetic bottleneck. do what you need to do.
