One More Go-Around on Black-White Issue
Jim Murray’s contentions that the closer you get to the Equator the darker the skin would not explain why there are dark-skinned Eskimos living at the top of the world.
Murray also contends that athletic prowess is bestowed on that part of the population that is close to the soil, deals with a harshness of existence, asks no quarter of life and gets none.
This is an apt description of the Eskimo who has lived in these conditions for centuries.
According to Murray’s calculations, the next super athlete will be from Central America and the Caribbean.
But his description of a super athlete would better fit the Eskimo.
