How come that asians are so weak...

Because they been eating rice and not protein for 1000 years

I don't understeand

shit diet

Our finding that South Asian low lean mass has ancient origins would be most consistent with long-term adaptations to ecological pressures, rather than more recent dietary change or the impacts of 19th–20th century famines exacerbated by British colonial policy. The lack of well-preserved postcranial remains predating 11,000 years BP prevents us from examining earlier trends in South Asian lean mass. Other researchers have noted the relatively “gracile” bones (narrow relative to their length) of Mesolithic South Asians compared with more robust hunter-gatherers34,35,36 and have also attributed this slight build to climatic adaptation35,36. Our data show that this characteristic persists into recent times.

Any link?

Interestingly, skeletal remains of East Africans and native Australians show similar patterns of low bone breadth relative to length, and by inference low lean mass35. Like South Asians, native Australians have an elevated incidence of NCDs37, relatively low lean mass, a higher proportion of body fat for a given BMI, and a tendency towards abdominal obesity38,39, although their relatively long limbs attenuate some of these contrasts40. South Asia and Australia were both colonised relatively early by dispersals of modern humans, and both subsequently had long periods (tens of thousands of years) for in situ development with relatively low levels of gene flow41,42,43. Whether there is a similar link between low lean mass and T2D susceptibility among South Asians and native Australians, and whether such phenotypic similarities reflect common ecological factors (equatorial climates susceptible to ENSO effects) or potentially neutral processes/shared ancestry could not be addressed here and are questions for future investigation.

Evidence that South Asian low lean mass is strongly heritable might indicate a still-unidentified genetic basis. There is evidence for natural selection near the Myostatin (MSTN or GDF-8) gene among South Asians44, which decreases skeletal muscle mass in fetal and postnatal life, but the nature and effect of any changes to this gene in South Asians remain to be clarified. In a sample of north Indian adults, variants at this locus were associated with variability in lean mass and (abdominal) obesity45. Alternatively, the heritability of low lean mass may originate from an intense cycle of inter-generational plasticity that is hard to break: low maternal lean mass may be the strongest predictor of low offspring lean mass at birth46, and low birth weight (associated with lower lean mass) predicts low adult lean mass47. Fifty generations of undernutrition in a rat model led to the development of a similar phenotype (including low birth weight, central adiposity, insulin resistance, and vitamin B12 and folate deficiency) in the absence of genetic change48. The phenotype largely persisted for 2 generations after returning the offspring to a standard diet (although birth weight and fat mass did show partial recovery), indicating that the South Asian phenotype might plausibly result from multigenerational undernutrition. Our study is unable to shed light on the heritable basis of low lean mass of South Asians but does indicate that it is a longstanding characteristic.

Oh, you mean like down to the genetics? I didn't really look into that but I heard on here that Asians came in migration waves from the Indo-Aryan regions (it's why whites and asians share 5% neanderthal dna). Then those Asians mixed with the denisovans, who were pretty short. Might be schizo, might be true.
Also yeah rice farming unironically selects for traits like shorter legs over millenia.
As for the eyes, I have no clue still.

Well the japs used to hunt down fucking whales and have a strong historical marine protein diet, since buddhism explicitly say that meat is murder they didnt use to eat any meat but back then then the japs though marine beings weren't sientent so they had this free chance to eat whatever they wanted from the see. Now i don't know if that is enough to make them stronger as hunter-gatherer europeans or africans. I don't know but it seems having a whale diet would make anyone stronger and and physically more capable.

This. They've been riced.
All of the ancient farmer civilizations have string bean males for a local population now.

What about whale hunting then?
