"Humans living in sunny climates make plenty of vitamin D on their own. In fact, one reason for the high degree of skin pigmentation in people of African descent is to prevent the synthesis of too much vitamin D, which can be toxic."

Wiggs this is directly from your quoted article. I agree that blacks have stronger bones, but it is because they are from a region of the world that has copious vitamin D from the sun. Norwegians or Northern Russians are fair haired and light skinned by necessity to try to capture that sliver of the Sun's rays in order to optimally convert precursor vitamin D from the Sun to the active form in their body. Thus, black skin actually is not a benefit theoretically.

VP, what the hell are you talking about? Educate the masses. I thought we were talking Vitamin D here.

Blacks have stronger bones? What a joke. Caucasians have always dominated strength sports and almost always weigh considerably more at roughly the same size. Even with a black's generally-less bodyfat percentage, this does not fully explain such a disparity. Northern Europeans are stronger, thicker and more densely muscled.

The voluminous muscularity of the average black bodybuilder should not be misinterpreted as being bigger. Rounded muscle bellies, lower bodyfat, natural tan, and balsa-wood frames/small joints contribute to success in physique competition  

Know what you're talking about.

Bone density. There was a myth that blacks couldn't swim because their bones were too dense, therefore they would sink.
