All the points he makes about bones and muscle mass could be easily applied to gorillas. Why don't female sapiens went for gorillas then?

Gorillas aren't even in the same genus. This rebuttal is retarded, it's like saying why don't female sapiens like gorillas since they like stronger men with more muscle mass who can protect them from other men.

African male skull is more robust relative to Asian and European skulls. Yet virtually no women are attracted to blacks.

I don't know how females are suppose to know the robustness of someone's skull, but blacks don't tend to be stronger. They're just faster than Europeans.

Moreover, data from dating sites indicate that women have strong same-race preference.

The lack of a larger human population could've made interracial relationships like this more common than they are today. I'm also only arguing that some of it was consensual.

    Homo sapiens and neanderthals were different species. Why would there even be such a thing as cross-species attraction?

    You claimed you already watched the video. Also Neanderthals are sometimes cited as a subspecies since they were capable of producing fertile offspring with H. sapiens.

    I guess the same way they were supposed to know the robustness of neanderthal skull. Which was in the same video you said made good points.

    There was a lot more than robustness, try watching the video again.

      Women notice than but not that African and Caucasian skull look different?

      Robustness of the skull can be pretty undetected compared to eyebrows and someone's jaw.

        Just look how round that jaw is at 2:41

        The Neanderthal jaw at 2:41 is obviously more square than the other, no idea what you're talking about.

        And the fact that he implied that humans are naturally attracted to obese women

        The only thing being implied was that cultural standards of beauty were different, which they were.

          And no, the other one is clearly more square-like.

          You're actually blind if you think that. The bottom of the Neanderthal skull is far more square. The homo sapien has a rounded bottom.
