Meet Robert Freeman

For the first evolution, Robert Freeman was a sharecropper, meaning he rented a farm giving a part of each crop as rent. He had to work hard to get out of the debt that he took on while trying to run the farm so he became physically much stronger than the average human being. His muscles grew to support him and he became physically taller to support this active lifestyle. In the beginning of this time period it was very common for former slaves to go into sharecropping to gain a living because they were poor and knew how to farm.

For the second evolution, the great migrations pulled many former slaves from sharecropping to the north to work in factories because of the urge to escape southern segregation. Because there was much less space in these factories than on the farms, the enhanced muscles and height of the first evolution was greatly decreased to become smaller with less muscles and have overall shorter height. The anatomy of his arms and fingers became elongated to enable him to have increased dexterity and ability to manipulate products.

For the final evolution, Freeman joined the Harlem Renaissance and focused his talents on creating music and art. His lungs grew from playing the saxophone, his height and extremity length normalized to make it easier to play as well. The creative portions of his brain expanded and became stronger, enlightening him to create art, literature, and music that the Harlem renaissance is known for.
