Weak... If you define West Africans along the lines that they have a higher concentration of fast twitch muscles... then are the presence of fast twitch muscles the definition of race?

The only reasonable definition of race I can see in science would be the observation of such regional differences. But then again I don't understand why they would use the term at all? I mean they have their own terms when dealing with genes and traits and referring to populations.
