In a nutshell
"Anthropometric measurements of large populations show that systematic differences exist among blacks, whites and Asians. The published evidence is massive: blacks have longer limbs than whites, and because blacks have longer legs and smaller circumferences (e.g. calves and arms), their center of mass is higher than that in other individuals of the same height. Asians and whites have longer torsos, therefore their centers of mass are lower.
These structural differences, they argue, generate differences in performance. Using equations about the physics of locomotion, they analyze racing as a process of falling forward. Based on this analysis, they conclude that having a higher center of body mass in a standing position is advantageous in running but disadvantageous in swimming."

Ok, moderators where are you? I'm giving facts and this person is hurling insults. For the record I am a dark skinned minority physician. If anything I wrote is racist, then all physicians who are capable of passing their boards are racist; black, white, red, or green.
As for the species issue, species diverge.. This is a scientific fact. However, as I stated, humans mix so this will not happen.
The population talk by some of you trying to circumvent talking about race is ridiculous. The population in any given city here in the US is diverse. They do not all suddenly develop the same medical problems just because they live in the same place. Going back to the sickle cell argument, a sickler is a sickler no matter where he or she lives.
Lefty, I thought long and hard about insulting you but I'm going to refrain.
Lefty; I thought hard about saying something nasty to you
