But I really don't know enough ex-Yugoslavs to say with confidence if men with thighs like Mirko Cro Cop ("right kick hospital, left kick cemetery" are typical:pic.twitter.com/c1haa64U43

I've speculated before that Polynesians, Icelanders, and perhaps Serbo-Croatians all evolved great size, muscular bulk, and short limbs as an adaptation to wet cold. I know that one of the most distinctive Polynesian physical traits, thick thighs, are also seen in Scandinavians.

I advise you to read Phillip Houghton’s theories on the evolution of Polynesian morphology. It’s an incredible story of how cold-nights on the water required thickness around the bone, but hot equatorial days selected against fat, due to fat having insultative properties.

It's true in animals. See Bergman's Rule.

I wonder if it's a wider and longer trunk instead of 'short' limbs. I noticed this while getting an ultrasound of my babies. All the limbs measured 'normal' but the trunk measured 'older'.

As mutt between nordic and croat stock, I can confirm my proportions are weird. Both parents have thick legs, stocky, strong, grandparents too. Don’t know cause, but, legs are always big point in my family
