The people making the most noise are those who base their egalitarianism so strongly on relativism (the idea that no position "true" just different perspectives), that if you question it, they feel like you're attacking egalitarianism.

Finding out the genes that contribute to the variation that we see between human beings wouldn't question the moral worth of conscious creatures-- because what gives them the worth is that they are conscious and that they suffer. If blacks didn't invent anything, that doesn't mean anything morally, that would just mean I have something in common with them: I haven't invented shit.

If, however, they are capable of learning through practice and small incremental steps, a domain of knowledge, then they are intelligent enough to move up the technological ladder.

With aggression, they can have a higher than average predisposition to aggression, and it need not express itself through violence. Aggression can lead to ambition. They don't even need to be particularly intelligent for it not to lead to violence, they just have feel that feeling physically threatened, and living in a world where you need to physically threaten... really sucks. If it's possible for them to recognize this, then they can move up the moral-cultural ladder. In africa, they are basically feudal leading into a traditional cutlure (religious values, of course), except this time around it's not a bunch of males with armor and swords harassing peasants it's a bunch males in jeeps with AKs and RPGs.
