Africa south of the Sahara has had civilization a lot less longer than has Europe or Asia (with the exception of Ethiopia). Up until very recently most Africans lived as hunter-gatherers. The same is true of most Native Americans save for the ones that lived in Meso-America. Life in a hunter-gatherer society requires a whole different set of traits than does life in a civilized society.

That sounds pretty Euro-centrist. IINM Sub-Saharan Africa was uncivilized, but Northern African was civilized in a way Europeans didn't understand & wanted to change. Northern Africans were building pyramids, planting crops, and practicing Christianity before Europeans arrived there. Plus, black people have had generations to "adjust" to European-style civilization, if your post is true then why are their genes slow to "adapt"?
