>She's 5'0" tall and 219 lbs
Was that a typo? At that weight and height she would almost certainly be
clinically obese and unable to run a marathon.
> What *all* have you been reading?
"NeanderThin" and "The Paleo Diet," for starters.
>I have yet to see any Adonis types.
I was more imagining rock climber types. Very lean and ripped. Not exactly
Adonis, but it's a body type I like. I have seen one famous picture (by George
Rodger, called "Sudan, The Nubas") of a tribal wrestler being carried on another
man's shoulder's after a victory, and that man very much fits the image I had in
mind, but he may not be typical.
>Some are short and squat, even a little portly looking.
Hm... Are they actually fat? From the claims in the two books I mentioned, I
got the impression very few were fat. Perhaps you're right though... maybe I'm
idealising. I'll try to dig up the National Geo you mentioned next time I'm in
the library.
