breeders in civilization select traits that are good for civilization, over the course of thousands of years this makes people amongst these civilizations better prepared for a society. Policy can be made by civilization to speed this up, but this takes generations. Plus, the fact that sub-saharan africans were cut off from the rest of the world kept them from spreading information. explain this:

yeah sure, 9000 years of capital development makes no difference

@Nerthulas, explain how culture led China to be so poor to begin with.

@fuguer universal white supremacy lol

an advanced state system and a high-iq population makes no difference

where were the 9000 years of capital development during the stagnation of the Qing?

it is only you who is saying that China is poor

hey, how did you KNOW china's pop back then had high IQ?

we know china had civilization

they were ***relatively*** poor

Where are your empirical studies for that?

for what?

are native americans considered asian on those dna testing sites

I can show you studies that say that IQ drops with poverty.

for them being relatively poor?

For Chinese in 1900 having high iq

because the rich leave dumbass

where was their high IQ during the Opium War?

Lol not this argument

china came to america 5000 years before columbus

genes and environment are difficult to separate

@Deleted User yes, i think most of them there are like 5 different haplogroups though

what is this argument

try 13k~

you can be high iq and lose wars and have trouble

wtf

lol

This argument is vaush levels of retardation

yea

maybe 5k too, there were serverall migrations

So what use is IQ and genes to explaining history then?

i heard 5k based on stone anchors

and i've seen studies that show the poorest whites score higher than the wealthiest blacks on the SATs :D. must be culturally bias of standardized testing rearing its ugly head yet again 😄

really?

Are we even sure that the current china pop. is similar to the ones during their feudal eras?

@themiddleman🐸 dead meme

I say that they were high-iq because they are high-iq now and I don't think that a genetic change that significant happened in a mere 100 years

see, when it comes to blacks sucking, you guys go "it's cuz their IQ and genes"

China didn't 'suck'

relatively compared to now
