Title: Aboriginal Australians and their proportions
Post by: myloginacct on February 21, 2018, 12:36:16 AM

Aboriginal Australian males have the longest legs relative to their bodies, among human populations (source (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2872302/)). The femurs can seem specially big.

There are a bunch of pictures where you can notice this here:

I'm not posting the pictures here due to their nature. It was hard finding a gallery full of pictures without a sad history to it. I'm sorry that this will have to do. It's part of history.


I thought it'd be interesting to make a thread about this due to all of the talk about proportions here.

Wow looks like their forearms are longer than their humerus also, damn me with my short forearms.

They look good when they're not being abused and malnourished.
