Black Superman: A Cultural and Biological History of the People Who Became the World's Greatest Athletes

In a persuasive and engaging mix of sports, science, and history, Black Superman argues that the athletic superiority of people of West African descent, in athletic activities involving speed and power, is based on biologically-inconsequential, environmentally-determined biochemical and biomechanical differences between them and all other racial groups and on biochemical differences between them and all other African populations.

Black Superman does a masterful job of not only explaining the biological basis for African American athletic superiority, but also of exposing and debunking the lies and deceptions that were designed to perpetuate the twin myths of African backwardness and black intellectual inferiority.
