Gradual moving north
The answer is that they couldn't.
Or small leaps in innovation that led to much greater ability.
Are there any examples of these apes with these smaller or greater ability?
The one that could do sign language doesn't count
Intelligence cant be gauged from a fossil
Are there any living examples? Or do you assume nobody stayed behind along the way?
Am I racist if I say black people
Lolol
But in how the different races are I would guess thats how there are living examples
Problem being that after a certain point humans became supremely mobile and able to mate with all like species
So in a sense indians blacks and latinoes all are similar to what you want to hear
Humans are so reliant on intelligence that they could only go one direction
And only the Europeans were really a show of this superiority.
There's plenty of wealth and natural resources in Africa. It COULD have been as advanced as east Asia or America
The lesser apes as it were were those that failed to innovate and use their intelligence to its fullest
But its climate doesnt require more intelligence
Why not?
Its easier to find food, shelter is less important
Weather is mild and stable
Fact
The weather in North Africa is such that you will die without shelter
But the shelters are less complex
And in part due to environment, people don't live very long in Africa or the middle east
They used to be more advanced
Compared to say one that would survive in England or so
Like a mud hut wont work in england
At least not as well as wooden shelters
Mud hut doesn't really work in Africa
Then brick
I was thinking middle east for that
But it stands that the shit grass huts work in Africa
Not really. It's still hot as hell
They dont need solid structures as much
Also, the climate in the Far East is exactly the same as the east of the Mississippi.
Yet the indigenous people look VERY different
Evolutionary divergence
And one of them has been noticeably more advanced than the other for all recorded history pre-colonization
Eastern Europe and Russia shares the same climate as northern Canada as well
Again they evolved from separate human line
