centuries of persecution, slavery and discrimination clearly has contributed to IQ gaps between the races,
no, creating the differences. i work with many black Engineers who are just as smart as their white counterparts.
Really? I haven't. And the engineers I worked with hadn't either. I once saw a black programmer pointed out to me from across the room because black programmers are such rarities.
i have worked professionaly in NYC since 1999. i have met many black Surveyors, Engineers, Architects, etc.
You must be surprised, then, by all the bitching and moaning over the underrepresentation of Blacks in STEM fields.
i dont really care. i simply know that i have worked with lots of black profressionals. they are all over NYC. the subway is full of black men in professional busines attire. we are a light unto the nations.
Rather simplistic explanation for the overall increase in intelligence, which doesn't consider the transition from hunter gatherer and the improved diets amongst other elements that contributed to this phenomena. If it was that simple what additional environmental factors would account for Asians having a higher average intelligence? Its obvious that hunter gatherers require much greater physical prowess to survive than agrarians.
Staple crops. The Asians ate rice. The Europeans ate wheat. The Americans ate corn. The Africans never developed a civilization, so we leave them out of the analysis. Rice provides the most calories per acre but needs lots of work to cultivate. Corn provides the least calories per acre but is very easy to grow. Wheat is somewhere in the middle. The Asians developed a civilization that relied on extensive cooperation. They became highly civilized but conformist. The Americans needed much less cooperation, so their civilizations did not advance too far. It was too individualistic. Europeans had a happy medium, some cooperation but also some individualism leading to both intelligence and initiative. That's why they conquered the world, both militarily and culturally.
nonsense, pure nonsense. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_kingdoms_in_pre-colonial_Africa Punt & D'mt Punt was a country in modern day Eritrea that often traded with Ancient Egypt but also far away kingdom like Asia. D'mt was an eritrean kingdom from 900 b.c. right after Punt fell . Ancieffeent Somali city states on the Berber coast. Medieval (8th to 13th century) Islamic empires (caliphates) in North Africa and the Horn of Africa Medieval and modern Somali states. The medieval Sahelian kingdoms The Ethiopian Empire is notable as an empire in continuous existence from the 13th to the 20th centuries. Empires of the 15th to 19th centuries. Islamic sultanates of the Sudan and the Horn of Africa Kingdoms of West Africa succeeding the Sahelian kingdoms Kingdoms of Central and Southern Africa such as the Kongo Kingdom and the Mutapa Empire.
in the beginning we probably came in all colors, then as we migrated out of Africa started to form groups based on color because the small groups that set out for new land populate the new lands may have been outcasts for being different
Horse hockey. Why racism is not backed by science As we harvest ever more human genomes one fact remains unshakeable: race does not exist We now know that the way we talk about race has no scientific validity. There is no genetic basis that corresponds with any particular group of people, no essentialist DNA for black people or white people or anyone. This is not a hippy ideal, it’s a fact. There are genetic characteristics that associate with certain populations, but none of these is exclusive, nor correspond uniquely with any one group that might fit a racial epithet. Regional adaptations are real, but these tend to express difference within so-called races, not between them. Sickle-cell anaemia affects people of all skin colours because it has evolved where malaria is common. Tibetans are genetically adapted to high altitude, rendering Chinese residents of Beijing more similar to Europeans than their superficially similar neighbours. Tay-Sachs disease, once thought to be a “Jewish disease”, is as common in French Canadians and Cajuns. And so it goes on. We harvest thousands of human genomes every week. Last month, the UK launched the 100,000 Genomes project to identify genetic bases for many diseases, but within that booty we will also find more of the secret history of our species, our DNA mixed and remixed through endless sex and continuous migration. We are too horny and mobile to have stuck to our own kind for very long. Race doesn’t exist, racism does. But we can now confine it to opinions and not pretend that there might be any scientific validity in bigotry. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/mar/01/racism-science-human-genomes-darwin
false. you didn't even take the time to look. https://www.britannica.com/art/Ethiopian-literature https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somalian_literature
It all depends on how you put the same pieces of the puzzle together. Same pieces. Same Truth. Different products. It all depends on how you put the same pieces of the puzzle together. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmanisi
The Ethiopian literature is translation from the Greek and Arabic, not original work from an African civilization but part of Semitic and Roman civilizations. The Somali literature is derived from Islamic civilization, not a native African civilization. Africa spawned no civilizations.
