That’s one possibility, sure. Here’s another one to consider: the average IQ in Cameroon is 64.
That means the average Cameroonian is absolutely retarded. Retarded on their best day. And what kind of cultures are produced by retarded people? Cultures that result in shit hole conditions.
I’d argue the state of a given shit hole country and its woeful lack of tech is a direct result of the people living there, not the other way around.
So it would be interesting to introduce chimps to moving stairways and see how they react ... considering their registered IQ tends to be 70-90 ...
And the first thing I see when I google "chimpanzee escalator" is a chimp named Zippy who seems quite at home on the thing.
Don't forget that pigeons are provably better than certain games journalists at spatial reasoning, so it wouldn't surprise me if some chimps can handle escalators without too much issue.
No. Maybe an adult chimp would be comparable with a five year old with a 90 IQ.
That'd STILL be smarter than these humans.
Wait what?
They're not "retarded", just dumb. Same way animals with similar IQs aren't "retarded", it's just their natural state. I want to make that clear because I hate seeing them get off as being not criminally responsible. They're not animals either, again, just dumb hominids.
I believe a low IQ is considered "retarded" in the medical sense, though that word has fallen out of usage in the medical industry because it hurts people's fee-fees.
