We saw how the Superobesity Samoan gene does against the Muscle Mesomorph Cro-Magnon gene at UFC 200

The whole match in one picture






Obesity is subhuman anyway you look at it

Superobesity
That's a great word

El Naturale brown fellow vs steroid abuser. It's hard to have any respect for that guy.

those mofos are naturally big boned people
black girls tend to love Samoan dudes

Mark Hunt would have wiped the floor of a Lesnar that was not on PEDs. Most roidusers that stop using get deflated after awhile, like Overeem did.
Not sure why you support roidusers so hard, maybe you are a roidusing manlet yourself.

It's hard to believe that Polynesians come from the Asian/Oceanian hybrid.

Yeah Papuans are not really big at all. They've got sturdy frames but are not really big by definition. And they are medium in height. But Papuan still makes up a substantial component of the Polynesians' admixture.

Got any links on interesting genetic studies of Polynesians?

I posted several genetic studies of Polynesians on another forum.

Among self-reported East Asians, all had evidence of East Asian genetic ancestry; a sizeable proportion (21.7%) also had evidence of Pacific Islander genetic
ancestry, but this likely represents difficulty in differentiating East Asian and Pacific Islander genetic ancestry.

n an analysis of the DNA of 1,000 individuals from 41 Pacific populations, an international team of scientists found strong evidence showing that Polynesians and Micronesians in the central and eastern islands had almost no genetic relationship to Melanesians, in the western islands like Papua New Guinea and the Bismarck and Solomons archipelagos.

The researchers also concluded that the genetic data showed that the Polynesians and Micronesians were most closely related to Taiwan Aborigines and East Asians. They said this supported the view that these migrating seafarers originated in Taiwan and coastal China at least 3,500 years ago.
