Modern Male: ‘Worst’ Man in History
******************************************EXCERPT*******************************************
Australian anthropologist Peter McAllister states in his new book that ‘modern males are the ‘worst’ men in history.’ When it comes to physical prowess, the modern male just won’t stand up to his Neanderthal counterpart. Blame it on all the chemicals that have surreptitiously crept into modern man’s diet, as well as his relative inactivity, affecting his ability to be hale and robust.
According to McAllister, in his book Manthropology: The Science of the Inadequate Modern Male, “These people were much more robust,” but “we wouldn’t want to go back to the brutality of those days. No ifs, no buts — the worst man, period…As a class we are in fact the sorriest cohort of masculine Homo sapiens to ever walk the planet.” Perhaps, while ancient man could boast of his physical strength, he hasn’t found the definition of right attitude. Would you, then, rather have a comparatively tender wimp?
‘Many prehistoric Australian aboriginals could have outrun world 100 and 200 meters record holder Usain Bolt in modern conditions.’ He based his conclusions about the speed of Australian aboriginals 20,000 years ago on a set of footprints, ‘preserved in a fossilized claypan lake bed, of six men chasing prey.’ There are holdovers, however, as some Tutsi men in Rwanda exceeded the current world high jump record of 2.45 meters during initiation ceremonies in which they had to jump at least their own height to progress to manhood.’
