very cold in<BR>the winter. So your claim that we can take

ground. I suspect that some<BR>individuals may retain an African heat
tolerance<BR>but that for many others the case is not true<BR>because we became

African shape is generally tall and willowy, whereas</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

ideal of beauty. Evidence: there are medications</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=754411316-20112003>and
treatments available to help people lose weight and</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
