IQ goes up with education nutrition and wealthBlaming Africa's problems solely on IQ is a bit ridiculous since IQ is not even a truly accurate measure of an individual's intellectual capabilities let alone an entire continental population.

If you meant intelligence why didn't you just say intelligence instead? IQ means the measurement of a person intellectual capability using number points. Maybe if you were clearer I would have responded appropriately, so don't get an attitude naaya.You know very well when I say IQ I’m talking about intelligence and not the actual IQ test. And yes Africans are less intelligent then Chinese, so don’t argue with me about something that’s pretty damn obvious smh
High IQ reply sxbEurope developed because of a number of factors that you’re not taking into account. IQ is a factor but it’s a small one. Africa has had a way lower population density historically than Europe, so less contact within Africa. The Saharan desert blocked off a lot of trade between Africa and Eurasia and trade is a big reason why Europe and Asia developed quickly. The interior of Africa has had many diseases like sleeping sickness and malaria that make it difficult to sustain populations.
A lot of Africa is tropical so you also don’t have the concept of a winter season that makes it important to plan ahead for the future.
Lets be honnest somalis are just retarted including other africansHmmmm, they're not in the middle of a war on terror? Therefore security isn't scaring away investors and hindering economic growth? Also, they're leaders aren't the typical caqli dameer (puppet) African ones that are OK with their people living in poverty so long as they live well? I have a feeling you posted this so you can get the typical "Low IQ" answers
Lol @ Africa had more disease... did you forget that 60% of Europeans were killed by the Black Plagued. Historically they suffered more epidemics or pandemics then Africa. Also historically Europe suffered more wars due to close proximity to each other. There are no factors that favored Europe in any capacity. Harsh climates, limited food sources, wars and diseases plagued them which is why they went out in search for new lands.Europe developed because of a number of factors that you’re not taking into account.

You seem to enjoy dragging Africa in the dirt even though you're of African descent yourself lolLol that Africa had more disease, 60% of Europeans were killed off in 14th century by the Black Plagued. Historically they suffered more epidemics or pandemics then Africa. Also historically Europe suffered more wars due to close proximity to each other. Africa always had more population but larger land mass. There are no factors that favored Europe in any capacity. Harsh climates, limited food sources, war and disease plague them which is why they went out in search for new lands.
The fact that intelligence has everything to do with this can easily be observed from slavery alone. Did you know in W.Africa, that some chiefs literally sold all the working age men to the point all that was left were women, children and elderly. That takes an extraordinarily stupid people to do that. And Africans leaders are still doing this today. They have zero concept of the future, or long term consequences...they only worry about today aka the term caqli lix saac. And as of not having winters contributing not having long term plans, then explain middle East and South America, both have similar climates to Africa yet way more developed.

So what do you propose, a return to colonial rule throughout the continent?Lets be honnest somalis are just retarted including other africans
it doesn’t defy logic at all lol. Europe is a breadbasket of extremely high fertile soil meanwhile Africa is either a dense forest or a desert. What use is nickel and cobalt if you can’t even produce enough food of sustain a large population?You need to look no further than Europe. Most European countries have very few natural resources which was a major motivator for colonization. If you’re smart you’ll look elsewhere to get what you need and utilize what you have. Africa, esp sub-Saharan Africa has the highest concentration of natural resources in the world yet are the poorest and the least developed.... it defies logic really.

Your logic is flawed, you think strategic resources = wealthy nation when that’s just not true. In order to make use of these resources you must have the knowledge and manpower to extract and use these resources.
Most of the abundant resources in Africa is of no use in ancient era and can only really be put to use post industrial era.
Europe also had free trade routes to persia, china and the rest of Asia meanwhile africa was cut off by the sahara desert. So by the time European first arrived in Africa they had gunpowder from Asia and large amounts of knowledge in warfare from constantly battling meanwhile africans didn’t have much and most of their warfare knowledge and technology was limited to small scale tribal warfare.
By the time the industrial revolution hit it was an exponential growth stage for the west and they left Africa and Asia in the dust. Before they were actually not too far off.
lol what? high intelligence is a product of success. Not the other way around.Simple - it’s called high IQ. Both Chinese and cadaans have high IQ, hence why they have the most prosperous developed countries in the world. High IQ will take you far even when you don’t have the resources, low IQ will fail you even if you have abundance of resources, hence Africa.
WTF??? Who told you that? Lol how does that even make sense?The fact that intelligence has everything to do with this can easily be observed from slavery alone. Did you know in W.Africa that some chiefs literally sold all the working age men to the point all that was left were women, children and elderly.

bro UK was literally living in mud huts and eating rocks until the romans civilized them and taught them how to farm and actually take care of themselves.UK and Greenland
Chinese are very industrious people, they also have a history of success.This is something that I have noticed a while ago.
If you look at chinese majority countries and territories : Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, Heinan, Singapore, Mainland China.
All of them are first world countries/territories except mainland China which will soon become first world this decade.
There are many arab countries but not all of them are successful, same for turkic (Azerbaidjan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Turkey etc...), persian countries (Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Iran etc...).
If we compare it to somali majority countries like Somalia and Djibouti, (2 countries that have one of the worst human development index) there is a large difference.
What are they doing that we are not doing? What should we learn from them?
Yes it's a mentality/culture thing.Chinese are very industrious people, they also have a history of success.
China has unity this is very important for success, Somalia does not. China also has smart/visionary leaders who built high-speed rail to connect the country, they are spending money on R&D, etc.
If Siad Barre did not start the war with Ethiopia, Somalia would have been much better off right now. The success of a country depends on its unity level and the leaders not making huge mistakes like Barre did.
Plus it's the country that has the biggest percentage of atheists. When you don't believe in an afterlife, since you know that there will be no paradise after death you tend to focus more on life and try to build your own paradise on earth.
