I can't be arsed going through his essays because this shit is fucking pointless to argue about, but here are studies I found on ssoth africans like thisok i get that.
but wouldn't wide clavicles be disadvantageous in savanah and rainforest regions which are majority of africa.
wider clavicles would have lesser surface area with more mass making it hard to cool off?
Sexual dimorphism and ancestral variation in the pectoral and pelvic girdles of modern humans - PubMed
Discussions of the evolution of sexual dimorphism in torso shape and the pectoral region assume that this dimorphism exists independently of body size. We test this assumption in two human populations and further examine what is needed to understand sexual dimorphism in the pectoral region...
and he started blathering on about "if africans were the same size, theyd have wider clavicles" even tho in this study the africans were 169cm to whites 173cm which is like minor, but just to humour him i asked chatgpt to scale up blacks and clavicle length to whites and this was what i got
also even in his own studies, the difference is genuinely less than a cm, like here
41.6 vs 41.9cm is the difference that hes saying muh blacks mog and i suspect this could be a result of sampling bias, and I asked him to use africans only because we cant tell for african americans whether its the white or black dna having an effect on their increased shoulder sizes compared to actual africans and when i used nigerian populations because that is where most black americans come from
