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
