"The Sports Gene" by David Epstein

"The Sports Gene" by David Epstein

book review by Riley Burnham 3/4/2024

well... i'll try to paraphrase/distill this

the notion here is that particular sports favor particular body types, or combinations

the author is looking extensively into genome-based reads, using a lot of data

for instance, he determines runners of distance favor thin ankles & feet; basketball players exceptionally long arms, & so on...

​​​​​​​it's pretty good(!)
