I'm just left wanting to shout at the scientific racists:-
There are two common factors that Sub-Sharahan people of colour share that are not as commonly shared by Westerners.
One is that their skin is darker.
The other is that the places they live have been systematically robbed over hundreds of years, sometimes so badly as to cause famine, leading to a situation where they are still today poor and often unstable.
I wonder which common factor might best explain what is going on with their physical development...
