AH YES!! and where do the aledged “chosen ones” the sons of Abraham, the apple of the pseudo-god yahweh’s eye, current manipulators of Western Civilisation ,figure into this mix????Oddly they are usually omitted from these discussions,just like the Rothschild Family’s 100 TRILLION $$!!! fortune is always left out of any mention of the world’s wealthiest people!!! SAME TRIBE..SAME REASON.. CONTROL from a hidden location..

The first real philosopher is most likely Thales of Miletus, 6th Century BC. He resided in Ionia, which is now Turkey but do not confuse this with him belonging to the Arabs. He was of a Greek colony and it is clear that Miletus was a European colony. Xenophanes, who lived within his life time, can be called the first scientist because he provided tangible evidence to his theories. Thus, science and all cognitive thinking was begun by Greeks and later continued by Plato, Aristotle and various other European scholars. Egypt had little to do with this revolution but it had plenty to do with astronomy. Unfortunately for you, Egypt was ruled by the White race as well (Just examine their art and statues, you’ll quickly see the features.) The 25th dynasty isn’t good evidence that Africa had any direct influence here.

1.) Arabs were not the greatest thinkers in the world in 1500. Intellectual life in the Islamic world stagnated and went into decline after the thirteenth century. Even during the heyday of Islam, from the ninth to eleventh centuries, most great Islamic thinkers were not Arabs, ethnically speaking.

2.) The Egyptians never practiced anything resembling what we would call science. Try to name a few great ancient Egyptian thinkers. You can't. No one can. We don't know of any. That said, the Egyptians did make several contributions to rudimentary mathematics and astronomy, but this is hardly on the level of, say, string theory.

3.) Blacks are not racially discriminated against in academia today. If anything is true, they receive various privileges because of their skin color. Europeans are not to blame for the lack of higher education in Sub-Saharan Africa prior to the late fifteenth century.

4.) A genetic explanation for the Negro cognitive deficiency makes the most sense.

5.) Technology shouldn't be confused with science. They are two different things. While the Chinese did make several notable technological contributions during the Middle Ages, China has never been a world leader in science. As far as we can tell, Chinese science was a dead end.

6.) I'm not a Nazi. I don't subscribe to "Aryanism" either. It is entirely fair to say though that the contributions of Westerners to human scientific and technological progress have no parallel outside of Europe.

Instead of giving us Afrocentric bullshit about Egypt and such, talk to us, for example, about how races differ in brain size. The evidence that brain size is related to intelligence is overwhelming. In fact, dozens of studies, including those based on state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging, have demonstrated the relation between brain size and intelligence. Africans average smaller brains than either Europeans or East Asians. You also haven’t addressed Dr. Lahn’s study on intelligence genes and how Africans have less advantageous intelligence genes than either Europeans or East Asians.

I cannot believe the levels of ignorance involved in this debate. There are basic facts that all ignore - go back to 1500 and Arabs were the great thinkers of Europe, go back to 2,000 BC and Egyptians were the high thinkers. Stay within a society and check whether the best entrepreneurs or artists are simply correlated with IQ? Go back to 18th and 19th C and Jews were irrelevant in academic circles unlike 20th C - oh, someone mentions the racial exclusion of Jews from academia? Why not mention the racial exclusion of Black people from many academic jobs - studies show that racial discrimination in economics departments is very great. Where do we need a genetic explanation for that? Asians can’t be creative? Just wait. Maybe you have never read Chinese literature or are unaware of where the public exam system came from or are unaware of the work of Joseph Needham. Frankly Aryanism is making a come back - why don’t you guys just say Heil Hitler! and let everyone know where you come from.

Nice post. The lack of creativity on the part of East Asians has been noticed by observers since time immemoiral.

I read an anthropological study indicating the development of european racial types stemmed from a group of north africans that started hunting fish and swimming, European assyrian hair / noses etc. are aqualine unlike african hair or noses, it is unlikely you will ever see an african winning a swimming medal!!, fish protien is extremely good for brain development which is probably why europeans have higher IQ , with reference to the previous post relating to the ability of europeans to think laterally unlike asians , I have traded in Asia for 20 years and whilst Asians are excellent workers/copiers/ producers they have virtually no creative ability so all the new ideas come from the west and are promptly copied by the Asian manufacturers.

Being English but lived many years in South-East Asia, I attest that a common belief held among many Asians are whites are especially adept at lateral thinking and being highly resourceful, inventive and adaptive whereas they perceive themselves to being less so (Chinese and Melanesians (Malays, Thais, Indonesians, Khmer etc).

Racial IQ differences are so obvious it is a wonder what all the debate is about. We breed certain types of dogs for their intelligence to lead the blind, why can’t humans inherit intelligence in a similar manner?

Dr.Lahn’s being Chinese frees him from the liberal superstitions stupidly pandered to by Western academics. To the Chinese, the fact of racial IQ difference is so obvious as to be rendered unremarkable.

Western ’scientists’ can keep shaking their heads all they want, eventually all genes/genetic basepairs will be mapped and they will no longer be able to elude the truth.
