A few years ago, two economics professors, Quamrul Ashraf and Oded Galor, published a paper, “The Out of Africa Hypothesis, Human Genetic Diversity, and Comparative Economic Development,” that drew inferences about poverty and genetics based on a statistical pattern.
The world’s most genetically diverse countries (using their measure of what counts as genetically diverse) are in sub-Saharan Africa, which is the world’s poorest region. The least genetically diverse countries are in places like Bolivia, which have low incomes but not as low as in that region of Africa. There’s an intermediate level of genetic diversity among the residents of the middle-income and rich countries in Asia, Europe and North America.
Genetic diversity arises from migratory distance of populations from East Africa. Countries in east Africa have the highest genetic diversity because this is where humans evolved. Populations that settled in other parts of the world descend from various subgroups of people who left Africa at different times. Thus, these groups are less varied in their genetic profiles.
Ashraf and Galor put this together and argued that this is “reflecting the trade-off between the beneficial and the detrimental effects of diversity on productivity.” Their argument was that a little bit of genetic diversity is a good thing because “a wider spectrum of traits is more likely to be complementary to the development and successful implementation of advanced technological paradigms,” but if a country is too genetically diverse, its economy will suffer from “reduced cooperation and efficiency.” Thus, they wrote, “the high degree of diversity among African populations and the low degree of diversity among Native American populations have been a detrimental force in the development of those regions.”

Take this baking soda and vinegar cannon. However Obama wants to ban it even though our Second Amendment protects our right.

The Bell Curve.
Africa today has some of the most Christian nations on Earth.
Liberia is #1 and is all Protestant
So nope
Shhhh....we can’t say that though!
Notice Haiti. Oldest “African Republic” with an IQ in the 50’s.
Also people that evolve where there’s a winter have to plan, learn how to eat in winter. Those where there is no winter are weeded out by the climate.
What about Japan and South Korea?
Walter Williams. Sorry.
The answer is clear as a bell. Average racial I.Q.
So much time and effort has to spent on simply surviving in arctic conditions, it's not surprising.
Indians and Inuits had not been in those cold climates long enough?
He put up a tire swing in this little village.
It was a HUGE hit with the kids, they absolutely loved it!
It got a lot of use while he was there, not only did the kids enjoy it, but the adults enjoyed pushing their kids on it.
Then he left the area for a while (6 months? a year?). He was looking forward to returning and seeing the kids play on the swing he put up.
When he got back, no swing. The tire was laying on the ground, with the rope piled in and around it.
It seems the rope came loose shortly after he left, and NONE of the natives had the gumption to put it back up!
That's why Africa is poor...
Africa is just fine.
There are parts of it that suck, but there are also parts that are doing very well in terms of modernization and growth.
Like Estonia, Communism (And in Africa’s case tyrants) are leaving and capitalism is coming.
It’s the US that has fallen further than Africa. Cameras to watch us, civil wars about to ignite, a leadership that is just as tyrannical as Mugabe.
These observations just haven’t really kicked off yet.
As I see it, two primary issues.
No written language.
Africa never developed one that caught on. No printing press, no linguistic or literary tradition.
Tribalism.
Africa is still tribal. Winning an election just means it is your tribe’s turn to loot.
These things prevent national and culturaly unity, which is required to enjoy some degree of prosperity.
Why has Africa hardly made any contributions to mankind that others want, while Europe and the Umited States have made so many innovations and inventions that just about everyone else wants?
Reject this pc history guilt bs. This is the stupid sh1t that people,need to get over. It is also lies. Plenty,of whites have struggled and failed. Plenty have taken their whole lives to build up a decent life for the next generation. There was no modern welfare state back then, most of europe was poor too. Died from disease and poor sanitation and epidemics.
This whole idea that bad things in life dont touch whites is institutionalizing racism in blacks and others and alsoinstituting covetousness. Which leads to theft, violence and murder.
God —> liberty —> property —> pursuit of happiness
There was a South American economist a few years ago who published a paper in which he said the primary reason lie in a country's degree of protection of personal property rights.
Now that will violate some snowflakes’ safe spaces. :)
Real life tends to do that, though.
Egyptian civilization is one of the oldest in the world - but that area had contact with the Middle East and Europe’s Mediterranean cultures, so it can be seen as a hybrid of African with other cultures.
