Sick racism bro.
Congolese people, and people of West/Central African descent generally, often have longer limbs (arms and legs) relative to their torso, resulting in a longer wingspan, due to evolutionary adaptations for heat dissipation in hot climates, improving efficiency for running or navigating open environments, and genetic factors related to skeletal proportions, rather than a single "Congolese" reason but rather shared ancestral traits for tropical survival
.
Evolutionary & Environmental Factors:
- Heat Regulation (Allen's Rule): Longer limbs provide a greater surface area, which helps radiate body heat more effectively in hot climates, a key survival advantage for ancestors in tropical Africa.
- Locomotion: Longer legs and arms can be advantageous for efficient locomotion, whether running across open savannas or navigating dense forests, depending on the specific environment.
- Genetic Variation: Different populations developed different skeletal proportions over millennia due to varying selective pressures, leading to distinct average body types
