I read an account somewhere once, about how these chiseled natives were met by the Europeans. Pudgy, pale, balding, Europeans. I can imagine the European women at seeing those badass men next to theirs.
Yeah no. Your typical worker arriving on a ship would not have been fat/overweight, and it's unlikely that typical native Americans looked like they spent serious time in a gym lol
I also dunno why you'd think only Europeans have age-related hair loss

Also scurvy is gross, wasn't solved until 1700s
