But if testosterone controls both hip-size and aggression, then the
traits of aggression and hip-width are inextricably connected?
The theory of more aggressive africans (higher testosterone, narrower
hips) pushing less aggressive africans (lower testosterone, wider
hips) into Europe and Asia to become caucasians and asians is
possible. It's possible the racial hip-width difference has no
relevance and is simply a side-effect of testosterone.
I don't think there is any credible evidence I've seen of different
races having differently sized babies, with different sized heads
(largest part of baby) and therefore brain size. If anyone has some
please post it.
It's possible the female black's hip size is wide enough for the
largest baby for 99% of births?

Another interesting thing is that and other male posters on here will
admit it also if they are honest, males tend to find women with wider
hips more attractive, by the way contrary to some opinions, beauty is
NOT in the eye of the beholder in most senses but in fact most males
are attracted to the same kind of features.
Males are attracted to certain things in a woman for a reason, they
are more likely to be attracted to a woman who is likely to be able to
give birth to a healthy baby.
In past times males who were not attracted to females with good baby
producing qualities chose less able women and did not pass their genes
on as effectively.
So this may offer the possibility that wider hips do help in some way
with giving birth.

Not easy to come by? Try non-existent. Reliable scientific information
about comparing brains of different races of which the research took
place in modern times does not exist to my knowledge. Where would
proffessional scientists get the funding for such 'racist' research?
