>The experiment is being done in two isolated rural villages with about 20 first-grade-aged children each, about 50 miles from Addis Ababa. One village is called Wonchi, on the rim of a volcanic crater at 11,000 feet; the other is called Wolonchete, in the Great Rift Valley. Children there had never previously seen printed materials, road signs, or even packaging that had words on them, Negroponte said

>Earlier this year, OLPC workers dropped off closed boxes containing the tablets, taped shut, with no instruction. “I thought the kids would play with the boxes. Within four minutes, one kid not only opened the box, found the on-off switch … powered it up. Within five days, they were using 47 apps per child, per day. Within two weeks, they were singing ABC songs in the village, and within five months, they had hacked Android,” Negroponte said. “Some idiot in our organization or in the Media Lab had disabled the camera, and they figured out the camera, and had hacked Android.”

It doesn't trouble me that europeans and asians are typically left behind in running events by africans. It also doesn't trouble me that people of asian descent tend to have better mathematical aptitude than my own race. Evolution can only take place if there is variation among those animals which are being selected. Though the OP phrased his question in a particularly stupid fashion, I would generally say that the reason is because there was stronger selection pressure on physical development in africa than there was in europe (less fast moving natural predators). The lack of predation of man in europe would have meant that the strongest selection pressure was on europeans outsmarting other europeans.

You could just as reasonably ask, why are whites more underhanded or sneaky than blacks. It all has to do with selection pressure.

Because nature pandered them and they did not need to improve in intelligence to survive.

Europeans had to become smarter to live through the harsh winters and the ice age, Indian intelligence improved due to the yearly monsoons that constantly threatened them, northern-African/middle-eastern people had searing heats to deal with, Asian people had to live through Tibetan deserts/Himalayas, etc all while sub-Saharan Africans, Aborigines and people native to the areas around the equator had favorable conditions that didn't pressure them into moving past the hunter-gatherer stage.

Another reason to consider would be selective pressure for delayed gratification. Africa is full of climates where getting the most now is advantageous, while saving for winter is not. Temperate zones with winters, or seasons with lack of harvest, historically have bred smarter cultures. Any where a hunter/gatherer lifestyle is not enough, the human who saves and plan ahead wins.

However, intelligence is not simple. A person may make unwise decisions because of genetic/cultural tendency for instant gratification, but it does not mean they lack ability for problem solving, or speed of learning.

I want to say environment but hell it looks like people already have an argument set up against it.

I thought environment because if black people (and I know you're stereotyping them, so lets take a stereotypical "nigger" for instance) see other black people acting a certain way (a way that may not advertise intelligence) like rappers and becoming successful for it, then they might be inclined to think that science and technology aren't important to them and that life is about other pursuits.

which can also explain why many african countries as you say, are "shitholes", I personally believe that they just live a different existence than you or I, one which we may look down upon. Truthfully it was us(white people) who fucked things up by buying them for slaves and giving them guns (leading to instances like darfur).

I still think environment plays a lot into it.

The reason why black people tend to have lower intelligence than white people is because when our forefathers moved out of Africa and explored the world (homo sapiens) they ran into neanderthals and mated with them. The result became white people and asians. Homo sapiens were less smart than neanderthals but had less of a problem reproducing. We whites are a result of a mix of neanderthals and homo sapiens.

>Why are black people dumber than white?

Are you sure they're dumber?

Or are you picking at the literal bottom of the barrel and unconsciously interpreting it as the top instead?

It's like saying all asians are smart but only having experience with those who immigrated from china or japan to american institutions. Never having the chance to meet with locals of their respective nations you would then surmise that all asians must be "this" smart or near it. While then surmising blacks/ africans are "this" dumb or around it simply because you can visually see african poverty in africa and black culture in america. But since you lack the drive to understand why they exist in the first place you simply categorize it as an issue with low intelligence.

And then when we finally see and talk about the affluent and intelligent blacks/ africans you simply brush them off as outliers to the equation, never once seriously questioning or exploring why they even have an abundance of existence in the first place.

This is as bad probably even worse than the whole math education issue in american schools right now. We know something is wrong yet we're going about it the wrong way.

And don't even throw that "IQ" bullshit since that is not only a poor interpretation of future success and academic totality. But also a inaccurate measure of intelligence since it only gauges purported "potential" and not one's ability to pull from that potential.

Seriously we have people measuring albert einstein's IQ as 160 despite him never taking the test. But then the explanation is we lol scan his brain and accrue it to that estimate, what a joke. I'm not even sure if /sci/ takes IQ in a serious concept anymore.

>It's 2012 why haven't they evolved past simple militaristic tribes yet still into an actual established nation?

Well first your use of the term "evolved" is dangerously close to "pokemon logic". The current environment seen still yields some productive advantage to nomad or tribal lifestyle.

Secondly some parts of africa have become established nations and strangely enough (or not) they are the same places that were originally centers of productivity in africa in years past. The obvious one is Egypt and the less obvious one is Nigeria which in the past was originally the Benin Empire, another one is Mali having several empires in the past with resounding interest and practice in math, astrology and art.

If every human at the beginning were black, would that mean they are less evolved?

Now you're just generalizing and the lack of critical thinking beyond the superficial is leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

I'd tell you to look up some african history but you would probably not even entertain the thought of it. If you some how do still have a shred of open-mindedness to their history check up Benin and Mali Empire, Ghana, Nigeria, Mali and Nubia in general.

>that is called culinary arts... not science
Guess what guys, food chemistry isn't a science!
Make sure you call up Kraft, Nabisco, Cargill, Monsanto, and pretty much every food company ever and tell them about your brilliant deduction

Singapore:
>Geographically a great spot due to India-China trade
>Trade center as early as 2nd century
>Colonized by British in 1800s. Trade flourishes as it expands to Western nations
>Gets shit fucked in WW2, goes through rocky 20 year period
>Post-WW2 economy recovers only barely through material exports: rubber, tin.
>Independence gained in 1965, suffers from unemployment, a housing shortage and lack of education
>Government puts in place public programs for housing and makes investments to promote manufacturing
>Trade port means cheap material imports and efficient exports of refined goods (dat geographical advantage)
>Huge tax breaks for new foreign investors = success
>Trade comes roaring back.
>Other south-east Asian nations get in on manufacturing cheap goods for Western nations
>Singapore ahead of the pack, invests in education for a skilled workforce, shifts to high-tech manufacturing

sub-Saharan Africa. (It's a fucking continent so I'll have to generalize):
>Historically isolated from the rest of the 4 major civilizations in Europe/Asia. Tribes stay tribes.
>Europe reaches big dog status and Africa can't even be colonized due to natural factors such as malaria and yellow fever
Basically the opposite of the 2 factors that were so greatly beneficial to Singapore. Also relevant is the general lawlessness that allowed the brutal treatment of natives in early rushes for natural resources by outside nations/corporations.

tldr; Singapore vs Africa =/= Asians vs Africans. Apples and oranges, bro.

So now that I've explored your question >>5216793 I can conclude that this bullshit doesn't belong on /sci/. All you can do is point to statistics and guess at the reasons, either by considering historical influences, or assuming the statistical trends reflect inherent traits. It's not science.

You have got to be trolling. "you're" is "you are" and "your" describes something that you possess, something that is yours. This shit seemed to have annoyed my more than this obvious trolling OP is doing.
