Depends on the type of culture they would live in. In a pre-industrial city area, the average man would probably be roughly weaker than todays (compare to america).

In the far country side where people are cutting woods, hunting, etc They would most likely be more built than today.

Your picture for example shows a hunter-gatherer tribe, they would ofcourse be more built than average american today. However due to their stature (size), overall they might be weaker than 5'11 200 lb american. At best these hunter gatherers weigh around 100 lb

stronger than you

Dependent of the environment --> environements such as desert, temperate woodland and rainforest all require and lead to different body types

Something along those lines.

Weaker than most active people today, but stronger than the average sedentary, overweight person

If we're talking roman soldiers or warrior cultures like germanics or celts, superhuman in comparison to modern men

Pre-agricultural, they were fit like in your pic. Between the neolithic revolution and the industrial revolution, they were stunted mantels but were hardy enough for farm-work.

yeh I'm sure if you got into a fist fight with one of them that would go down swimmingly for you and you wouldn't end up with broken limbs and a caved in skull

>>1196545
Any built guy with a vicious enough jab would be able to disembowel you.

Superhuman is an exaggeration.

Look at modern pre-industrial societies.

Where are these supermen in rural China, New Guinea or Peru?
