Is low IQ to blame?

[Hawkish]

Somalis are known to have some of the lowest Intelligence quotient scores in the world just above the pygmies, aborigines and bushmen due to all the first & second cousin marriages prevalent in the culture which is of course known have to negative consequences on IQ. Is the level of IQ today the reason why we cling on to destructive pointless tribalistic thinking & religion?

 

[ded]

first of all, have any extensive proper studies for iq been done on somalis? and iq doesnt equal intelligence at all.

first cousin marriages are not prevalent

 

[Hubble]

I meet a lot of intelligent Somalis, these tests aren't always indicative of low intelligence. It might be hyperactivity, lack of interest, anxiety or undernourishment behind the low scores.

1.You're just making that up
2. Cousin marriage does happen but it's not that prevalent.
3. Where the f*ck do yall get your facts from?

Somalis are actually intelligent if given the chance but they're just lazy.

There is a strong correlelation between IQ & the prosperousness of a country.

If you are familiar with the bell curve you would understand some individuals would fall far from the mean each direction but otherwise spare me your anecdotal stories.

Making what up? That first & second cousin marriages exist and have existed for centuries or the IQ results which are well documented that somalia is among the lowest 10 countries in Africa? Where do you get your ignorance from?

Well it takes a level of intelligience to have schools in the first place.

Velli can't seem to grasp any of the valid points raised in this thread. He expects us to take these figures as evidence without providing any details of the study. Then he has the nerve to accuse others of low intelligence.

 

[Hubble]

Velli, are you a Somali?

Somalis are stupid. Just look at the situation they keep finding themselves in.
They love begging, looting and lying.

FYI


You are all stupid.

Excluding me ofcourse and my clan, and few special ones, they know who they are. You know the ones who I always LIKE their posts, you guys are awesome.

Obvious you do not know lot about Somalia before 1991 plz go back and learn your history of your people. I bet you after you would not be here talking like.

Well if you the white man words here:
1.
It is certainly to be desired that we should utilise the Somalis. There can be no doubt that they are the most intelligent race in the Protectorate. The East Africa Protectorate
by Eliot, Charles Eliot
2. The bravest, most merciless but, when they accept you, the friendliest of African peoples, the Somalis are also among the most intelligent. If they could overcome centuries of mayhem and murder, they could transform a dangerous African dustbin into a prosperous, modern state.”
