there are plenty of reasons why (most) of africa is bad off and none of them have to do with race
IQ is imprtant, but is not predeterministic
You also have to consider what Africa has to contend
There is little arable land
Minimal difference? Sub-saharan Africa has an IQ ranging anywhere from 56 to 70, while white countries are almost exclusively a 100 or more. That is not minimal by any standards of measure
Lots of endemic deadly diseases
africa has very little arable land that has reliable rainfall, and even the food they grow, there isn't much infastructure to transport it as most africans live in small, spaced out villages rather than large cities
you've also not proven that it's related to their race, Charles
^ this
but you seem to argue from that point of view
By the way, the African countries that were colonized the most (South Africa and Nigeria) are by far the wealthiest, and also have the largest white population
africa politically has been in turmoil largely due to the race for africa caused by european nations in the 19th century
It is definately related to race
yes, you've shown correlation
Cranial capacity?
yes, they have lower IQ's but if they could build up there own civilization their IQ would have increased in kind, like the rest of the world. Having a succesful civilization leaves time for contemplating the world.
As proven by the difference in cranical capacity and IQ
that chart is all over the place
between something arbitrary, it also looks like an awful correlation
Also consider that the borders drawn in Africa are arbitrary
how are indians 20 IQ points higher with smaller brain capacity thsn aboriginals?
also if you knew anything about the human brain, the size is largely irrelevant, the density of brain matter is much more important
It's not an awful correlation by any standards of measure. There is a link between the climatic conditions of a region and the cranial capacity of its population. Neanderthals for example, who lived in a tundra environment, had a brain volume of 1600 cubic centimetres, while today's Caucasians have a brain volume of 1350 cubic centimetres
That can be explained by the increased evolutionary pressure based upon populations in less resourceful environmental conditions
question from where are you taking this info?
Some are getting their shit together
again nobody disagrees there are differences in race, but these are based on **averages**, rely largely on the geographic area of the people in question and their living conditions, and in no way reflect individuals
Once again, I ackknowledge that races are different in some ways, but I just choose not to care because of my belief in Liberty based off of ideas from John Locke
@Boris Todbringer how do explain how the alt right has a lower average IQ than the US national average?
IQ is a genetic trait, and environment has rather minimal effect on it, as proven by many studies
also by your own standards, arent the jews the master race? they totally murder whitey in IQ.
IQ isn't genetic lmao
IQ ceeling is proven to be genetic
do you even know what IQ is?
@radeon I'm not a member of the ''alt right'', and I would put the study showing that to some serious doubt
race realist?
