Africa wasn't isolated like an island tho. You are literally putting Africans on par with a stone age society. Which is kind of our point. They have had extensive contact from Arab traders, Europeans, other African migrations, Indian traders, Chinese, and even migrations of North Africans and berbers.
Africa suffered from aborted colonisation unlike the Americas. When Europe was colonising Africa, they ran out of money and ressources, and thus bailed after halfway building up infrastructure.
Lol so Africa's problem is they didn't get colonized hard enough? You guys just can't admit low iq prevents development of high society.
Low IQ is a result of lack of colonisation. IQ isn't biological.
Even Europe was colonised, by the Romans.
Unlike you and leftist SJW types, I'm not racist, so I don't go looking for easy "color" based answers. The answer is simple : Colonisation brought agriculture. Agriculture is the reason we have an advanced society today. The Americas were turned from the traditionnal tribal hunt/gather society to sedentary agriculture based society it is now through colonisation. Africa didn't get that luxury.
Remember : the modern human species is 300,000 years old. Our modern societies evolved from 290,000 years of hunt/gather traditions to iPhones in only 10000 years because of agriculture. Without it, we would still be living in mud huts, picking fruits and killing animals.
The important thing is: when did they have that contact? Rather late. It's as if you think history started around 1000. As agriculture spread from the Fertile Crescent to the rest of Europe, Africa was mostly cut off. Africa is also internally cut off due to lack of rivers and a much smaller coastline than Europe.
Point is, the Sahara is a formidable barrier, and that is the sort of thing that retards development even in the absence of hypotheses about negative qualities that people there may or may not posses.
Africans have had contact since the ancient Egyptians. They have plenty of coastline and rivers lol. Look at south Africa today. It doesn't matter how much outsiders develop Africans because as soon as they leave the Africans return to african homeostasis. Low iq low functioning tribal society.
Much less than Europe 'lol'. Maybe look at a map. There is a lot of inland territory that is inaccessible by sea or river in Africa, and not so much in Europe.
You sound like a leftist talking about Clarence Thomas.
Clarence Thomas is not indicative of the general. We speak in generalities not 100% absolutism that applies to each individual.
