Not sure why the racial intelligence gap is so taboo. It's basic biology

Two populations diverge in wildly different environments that apply significantly different pressures. Not only that but the ancestors of Europeans and asians interbred with Neanderthals, which would have driven hybrid vigor.

It wasn't all good we picked up a massive harmful load from the neanderthals too there are huge purged sections.

Yeah but they had cranial cavities 200ccs larger than ours on average. That gave us a lot of room to play with

I think surviving in a tropical jungle with no sunlight, no fertile soil for agriculture, intense heat, and multiple dangerous creatures trying to kill you would require more planning and intelligence

Nah

Europe had megafauna and a climate that required long term survival tactics

Also

>no fertile soil for agriculture.

70% of the arable farmland left on earth is in Africa. It's just that they don't know how to farm

Because people like you who won’t shut the fuck up about it don’t care about science or the truth or whatever. You just want a scientific excuse to justify racism.

It's not. It's fully known and acknowledged.

Ok, bait, but I'll bite.
>Not sure why the racial intelligence gap is so taboo.
Because it's always re-interpreted for political motives.
>It's basic biology
No, it's not. Intelligence is a multifactorial trait, genetics being only one of many.
>Two populations diverge in wildly different environments that apply significantly different pressures.
In other news, water is wet. You cannot conclude anything with such broad statements.
>which would have driven hybrid vigor.
Then you contradict yourself. Your pic claims the opposite.
It also shows that adoption makes children lose 4 points of IQ. But I guess the adoption intelligence gap is taboo to you too so you won't feel the urge to mention that.

>Europe had megafauna and a climate that required long term survival tactics
Europe had a climate that required constant human migration. By the time the world a thawed a little more, agriculture and the associated food storing came from outside Europe, from warmer climates - who happened to have lions (southern Europe, Anatolia, North Africa, Mesopotamia) and crocodiles (Egypt) by the way.

The supposed hardships that characterize Europe were, and still are, stronger in other places like Canada, Siberia and the Artic, and the natives there were displaced by Europeans except for the Artic where nothing much has changed.
