I don't consider myself a genetic determinist, I consider myself someone who acknowledges that behavior has a genetic component and that that is significant to historical development of various people groups

You gave a genetic determinist explanation for current day Africa's lack of development relatively.
i dont consider myself
@BabygottBach the genes, get selected for over thousands of years, when you have abundance, like africa does, you don't need to organize to survive, you won't select for the genes that benefit organizational structures. how many regions had to deal with an ice age? did that impact africa like the rest of the world?
Also, the Khans were many times richer.

commit 50%
African genes survive in Africa

but human behavior plays a role in economy of modern nations
So what
