    An understanding of Quinine helped.
    The Brits developed Quinine Water to mix with gin and make their dose more palatable.

    And those Africans? Those Black people.
    They chewed "bark". And the malaria critter does not like Sickle Cells either.

    They were in charge- shows they clearly did much better.

    I couldn't care less that you believe a bunch of Marxists. I am not convinced. the fact that your side has to threaten anyone who disagrees with you with being forced out of their jobs or even threatened with [prosecution shows teh paucity of your argument. You know we are right which is why you have to ban all investigation.

    When you ban the Nobel laureate discoverer of the double helix from lecturing than you know that something is amiss.

    You would characterise anything other than a scientifically unsubstantiated assumption of equality as an "attack"? Do you have more respect for the truth or utopian fantasies?

    Would you also characterise standardised examinations as an "attack" on those that fail them?

    Is the motivation "hate" or the desire to use truth to face the hard realities and better humanity, rather than descend into hell with "good intentions"?

    all it demonstrates is they had superior weapons...

    but as for colonization of sub-saharan africa it was a failure...sub-sharan africa is a formidable environment hostile to man and domestic animals...N america was a stroll in the park in comparison and as a result overrun by european immigrants, the european attempt to colonize africa was a dismal failure...

    animal and human trypanosomiasis, malaria, Onchocerciasis(river blindness),yellow fever, dengue fever, Schistosomiasis...even today countries that are still plagued by these diseases fall far behind others in economic production, back in the days of colonization they all suffered and euro immigrants right along with them...then there are the snakes that still kill an estimated 50,000 per year...those "superior" euros :roll: euro's passed by and went to more friendly environments where they could survive and colonize...

    so, what gap have we discovered between the guys who conquered most of the known world in minidresses while calling them tunics; compared to the to the other guys who wore pants?

    East Asians have the largest brain volumes, followed by Whites, then Blacks.

    Clearly this thread was made to attack Whites as the poster above seems to imply, you see.

    You speak as if a higher power just gcve it to them
    We had no such problem is Southern and eastern Africa

    Rhodesia, Kenya, South Africa all prove you quite wrong

    - - - Updated - - -

    Those guys tried to invade Germany and were utterly beaten from the Teutoburgerwald onwards

    Brain volume doesn't mean anything, Neanderthals had bigger brains from us , our Cro Magnon ancestors had bigger brains too .

    ya they avoid the glaring contradictions...Einstein had a smaller than average brain, clearly that shouldn't be possible... there are adolescents with adolescent sized brains scoring at higher than average levels (all three of my daughters at 11/11yrs and 13yrs scored in the 120 range) ...50% of our population are women with smaller than average brains yet they score exactly the same as men surely that shouldn't be possible either, and another contradiction with women is they are dominating university enrollment...but none of that fits the racist narrative so those inconvenient inconsistencies are best ignored...all of which confirms that isn't brain size but how it functions...

    the racist narrative is that superior brains rule and through out this thread it's claimed the orientals are the most superior, and how did they do vs european weaponry?...ya that's right, they lost too...an impossibility according to your reasoning...

    :roll: really...where are the white ruling societies that dominate former colonies in more temperate climates?...why was there no mass migration to africa?...there was none because it's an environmental hell hole...


    not a student of history either...Teutoburg was a one off event plagued by incompetent leadership, following expeditions had few problems, in open combat the germans were no match for roman legions...

    From an evolution standpoint, intelligence does not necessarily equate to evolutionary success. Some of the most successful species are insects and parasites and we humans have a high probability that our intelligence will cause our own extinction so the whole IQ and Race thing is moot. We all know this is just an excuse to insult other races while boosting your own. We have Asians and Whites of limited intelligence right now who can vote, own guns, hold down jobs and contribute to society, so even if by some far fetched scenario where there is actually a racial difference in IQ, it doesn't matter anyway.

    Yes, because races not having exactly the same IQ after 100,000 years of evolution in wildly disparate environments and population densitites isn't far fetched.

    Yet, to have made the mistakes the Romans did, they must have thought they, and not the local natives, were the most superior.

    So why does every study on brain size and IQ show moderate correlation between the two?

    As far as the Neanderthals and early Cro Magnon, you have IQ tests to which to compare, right?

    You're either illiterate or fond of repeating the same lie.

    Males and females have different areas of intelligence reflecting the different regions of the brain that are larger.

    You've already been told visual-spatial ability takes up more volume than verbal reasoning; which explains why males perform better at visual-spatial ability than females and have larger brains over-all.

    I don't believe we have evolved enough since Roman times to make any statistical difference.
