I did, and my dad was the first in his family to ever go to academia. Before that we were war immigrants and dirt poor slavic kholops. Currently my home country is entrenched in some form of civial war (Ukraine) and before that it has been purged by Nazis and Communists, and soon perhaps the Russian Army or the Neo Nazis.

My family has endured all of this, and managed to create a life of wealth because we worked hard, we strived to succeed and appreciated knowledge as the engine to success.

So seriously, get fucked. Cry more next time the cop "harasses" when they stop your car. Your problem is that you make everything about race. No one else cares.

Saying "More advanced" is like saying "more evolved" civilization is an adaptation to the environment. Some work better in some environments than others, and some go in different directions.

This is not to say that some cultural adaptations aren't more useful and versatile and work in a lot more environments, but even those have to be adapted. Remember how many arctic explorers starved and froze and died of vitamin deficiencies in places where the aboriginals thrived.

You do get competitive exclusion of cultures sometimes where the technological level is sufficiently adaptable and complex, and where the aboriginals are prevented by cultural or other reasons from accessing it.

Non of this is racial, of course. The adaptation of the plains Indians to horses and guns for instance, or of the Irish to central american food crops and of every culture to writing attests to this.

You can call this competitive exclusion if you like, but it's memetic and not genetic. The individual isn't the issue, nor is the race.

There is a large debt to be paid by bantu blacks to the rest of humanity. These savage mudhut dwellers who oppressed large parts of Africa and enslave and eat pygmies (to this day) for juju magics were freely given the resources and comfort to breed uncontrollably. Straight from the stone age to the space age and their precious Nike shoes.

These people couldn't invent the wheel, not even imitate it when they saw it used by egyptians, all they could do is eat pygmy flesh for magic powers. And these people were then given the technology and help to proliferate in the hundreds of millions and live in luxury compared to their ancestors.

Cultures, not races. Race is a biological concept restricted mostly to plants since they don't move around and share genes as much, and since the word was taken over in the early twentieth century by loons who use the word as the pre-twentieth century did, as a short hand for nationality or ethnicity, botanists have switched to "varietal" Only plants, with their environmental plasticity and allowing a lot of tropistic expression, and their susceptibility to hybridization and polyploidy, can be said to have actual racial characteristics. Animal races, including humans, are often just the effects of small founder gene pools combined with selected differences in the phenotypic characteristics most interactive to the local environment. You might argue that some associated characteristics tag along, but not anywhere near enough for a race, subspecies or even varietal. There's way more diversity within ethnicity than between them, and some ethnicity (Jews) have such plastic definitions that literally every one on earth could be legitimately considered to be included.

The presence of subspecies in human populations would show up the same way it shows up in other populations: with substantially high hybrid vigor. We would see any offspring of, say, the African bushmen and the Australian aborigine (the two subpopulations genetically furthest apart) having children that were larger, smarter, healthier, stronger and more cooperative than either of the parents. That's not what we see. You might get a taller offspring though, since those genes shift, and a kid might get a double set.

and is there a cult associated with this idea? I have heard of a cult that believes that god created races of people because everybody is descended from Noah and there's only been a hundred fifty generations since then, which wouldn't be enough time for the amount of differentiation we see. something like that?

Hybrid vigor occurs when there has been inbreeding going on, ignorant little scientologist.

On the opposite end of the scale you have outbreeding depression, which in the sub-species context can actually be relevant.
