I'm not talking about the ice ages.

if anything, europe was far more dangerous than africa

Correlation != causation

but humans migrated out of africa during the ice ages

No, they didn't.

yes they did

Europe has this thing called winter. You need to plan for it. Cooperate with other farmers. Coordinate defense. It forces people to be less violent and more introspective.

Africa has lions and other large predators. It's a violent place by default.

No, they really didn't.

@Death in June thats because the chinese at least value education

lol fck your loud music https://twitter.com/CarlForrest/status/1150856399158730752?s=20

They migrated out of Africa before the ice ages and evolved away from one another.

the last ice age was 11,000 years ago

not necessarily but the evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of there being clear iq differences between different groups stemming from their different gene pools

Again

Literally

Not slightly

Correlation is not causation

Not even

Hominids existed far before 11,000 years ago and deviated from each other much earlier than that.

If anything, being in more danger makes your technology improve. Every war kickstarts invention. Africans weren't killing one another enough.

@Spooky Melon education ain't gonna raise your iq by 20 points my guy

That's where Neanderthals came to be.

yes, but not drinking arsenic water

that will

yeah

but im not talking about neanderthals

im talking about humans

like, homo sapiens

Neanderthals are humans.

ah of course, of course. so the guy who has never seen a school could have a higher iq than a harvard graduate

you can study for these things.

yeah and so are homo erectus

pointless

but i mean homo sapnies

sapiens*

but being a harvard graduate isn't making them have a higher iq

stop playing semantics

If you're a hunter-gatherer, Europe's climate is actually kind of fucked because once winter hits your food supply shrinks to shit. Anyone not smart enough to plan for that dies.

they are able to be a harvard graduate because they have a high iq

they are able to have a high IQ cuz they drank clean water and had enough food growing up
