IINM, there were also predominately black West African cities that were civilized (as you mentioned) in their own way before Europeans set foot on Africa, like Timbuktu.They were, and for a time they were more organized than the European civilizations. But with perhaps the exception of Zimbabwe and a few other societies in West and Southern Africa, all the black African civilizations developed with contact from the outside—via the Arabs and the brown people of the Ghana Empire in the case of the West African Empires and via Egypt and Yemen (i.e., brown countries) in the case of Ethiopia. >>>But evolution doesn't proceed that quickly, and further, there is no selective pressure favoring increased intelligence/a more pro-civilized temperament today. It's not like the successful blacks reproduce more than the less successful ones. If anything it may be the other way around. So it's an education issue at heart. I wouldn't say its an education issue—it's a breeding issue. In all races higher IQ individuals reproduce less (thanks today mostly to birth control). This is actually causing us to get dumber with time. Reversing that trend would require successful people to alter their behavior when it comes to having families, and I'm not sure how you can do that. |
