    MEN with strong upper body strength are more likely to vote conservatively while physically weaker males have a greater tendency towards left-leaning views.And stronger men are more likely to protect their resources while weaker males favour more socialist views such as wealth distribution, researchers claim.
    Psychological scientists Michael Bang Petersen of Denmark’s Aarhus University, and Daniel Sznycer of the University of California, say political motivations may have evolutionary links to physical strength.
    The scientists say men's upper body strength predicts and influences their political opinions and this link reflects psychological traits that evolved in response to our early ancestral environments and continue to influence behaviour today.
    "While many think of politics as a modern phenomenon, it has - in a sense - always been with our species," they say.

    Kevin Rudd has made no secret of his left-leaning views File picture: Kym Smith




    In early days, distribution of resources was achieved through a show of strength as opposed to judicial processes.
    With this theory in mind, the scientists set about to prove that upper body strength - seen as a symbol of protecting resources - would predict men's opinions about wealth distribution.
    Measuring bicep size and socio-economic status, researchers collected data from hundreds of men from the US, Denmark and Argentina which all have different welfare systems.
    They found that irrespective of where the men came from, those with strong upper body strength were less likely to support a welfare system.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger has big biceps and is a Republican. Theory proved.




    "Our results demonstrate that physically weak males are more reluctant than physically strong males to assert their self-interest - just as if disputes over national policies were a matter of direct physical confrontation among small numbers of individuals, rather than abstract electoral dynamics among millions," they say.
    This certainly seems to be the case for the Opposition leader Tony Abbott who is known for his love of exercise and body strength, while the less buff former PM Kevin Rudd on the other hand is seen as more left leaning.
    Interestingly, the researchers found no link with upper body strength and political persuasion among women.

    I mean he didn't even outdo the Romans who took England as well as the near and middle east and East Africa. He only managed to hold onto what he did get from 1941 to 1942. Genghis and Alexander outdid him as well. He is with Napoleon in the losers club.

    Above average height for a man born in 1889. Look it up the average height of an American solder according to draft do ents was 5'6 and change. Half of you markets aren't even 5'8 today with modern vitamins and nutrition.

    You come off as very sensitive about this. You must be pretty small and weak yourself.

    Like Hitler was small and weak.

    Per wiki you liar

    Towards the end of his life Adolf Hitlerfollowed a vegetarian diet. It is not clear when he adopted it, since some accounts of his dietary habits prior to the Second World War indicate that he consumed meat as late as 1937. By 1938, Hitler's public image as a vegetarian was already being fostered and from 1942 he self-identified as a vegetarian. Personal accounts from people who knew Hitler and were familiar with his diet indicate that he did not consume meat as part of his diet during this period. Some modern day analysis has theorized that Hitler's vegetarianism may have been due to Richard Wagner's historical theories, or even a psychological reaction to his niece's death rather than a commitment to animal welfare, but these theories are contradicted by reports that he was often distressed by images of animal cruelty and suffering, as well as being an antivivisectionist.

    Other than the US, there really wasn't much else outside of Europe worth conquering, tbh.
