Not exactly, especially not in places where slaves were treated like livestock and quite literally bred for certain attributes (size and strength).

Dark, and not exactly something one likes to think possible, but it did happen. The genetic crucible that was slavery had a lasting impact on the genes of their descendants.

Edit: Imagine being downvoted for talking about history. Idiots.
