Africans as a group simply have sufficiently different brain structures that without thousands of years of selective breeding, massive crossbreeding with other groups, or genetic engineering, they will be the lowest in IQ of all groups of any size. (Various aboriginal groups are even lower but they are not significant in numbers and will probably die out as evolutionary deadd ends.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-1167410645159556382006-12-29T08:44:00.000-08:002006-12-29T08:44:00.000-08:00"I think that this is an understatement.

From what I understand, most black Africans have IQs that are in the 60s and 70s"<BR/><BR/>They just took the median African IQ in the developed world (85) and subtracted the median for Africans in Africa (70 - although recent estimates are a bit lower, high '60s) to get their figure of 15 points. I think that's probably if anything an overestimate, westerners benefit from other environmental factors as well as better nutrition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-1167406059816071992006-12-29T07:27:00.000-08:002006-12-29T07:27:00.000-08:00I was wondering when I would see you address this....I was wondering when I would see you address this...<BR/><BR/>Doesn't Bjorn Lomberg (sp?) list micronutrients as the thing that will get the most bang for the buck?
