This thread is iconoclastic! you tell a lot of things that I suspected already; Namely the theory that is accepted and goes unchallenged because of the interests and the costs of disproving it. A few years ago it was accepted that ulcers were caused by stress. It was discovered that it is caused by a bug called Helicobacter pylori.]Which doctors would send many employees on less stressful jobs which I guess many vagabundo was landing out with stomach problems. One guy told me a trick of swallowing a chewing gum and go to the doctors for an Xray!! (that in 70s with old technology to detect)

At 5 years of age a West African is immune to Malaria if he had not been killed by it. All that fighting against the disease since early age, wears the system down and they die at early age.

A Mohammad Ali was the result of generations of good food and better health care. The black Brazilian sportsmen and women although not having as good food and health care as in the US, they was mixed with the whites. It is not the balck man per se. It is the African environment that does not allow for the black man here in Africa hit his full potential. Simply he has never domesticated animals and his weather does not lend itself for fruits and vegetables. Once that same black man gets the westerners type food they become machines mcuh better than the white man.

Time scale to see the result of scientific progess in man and environment is how long? 50, 100, 200 years? Is my hair thinned because i used anti-dandruff shampoo or 30 years+? In the name of cost and convenience we sue metal cans and Tetrapacks. Perhaps given enough time we will such ban materials in utensils in the future the same way we banned lead utensils. Or those electromagnetic fields modern man has been bombarded since fetus may alter him. Perhaps reading and writing with a pencil made former students better to learn. Or perhaps what they have learned better -with paper and pencil- was useless and will make no difference. Those are questions that no one wants to pose because of the economic impact of such issues being hijacked by people with an agenda. Man can no longer free thinking like before.
