@davidolsen8291 Africa had civilizations that were more advanced than many European counterparts in their time like. Like Axum, Nubia, and Mali.

@muninnsays9296 Well No. you have never heard the Swahili Coast, The oyo empire, or the Ashanti. Or the oldest know culture/civilization in West Africa the Nok which were possibly the first to smelt iron.

@muninnsays9296 What kind of definition for civilization is that the fuck? “A civilization is a complex human society, usually made up of different cities, with certain characteristics of cultural and technological development.”-National Geographic. The Ashanti falls under that. The Swahili coast was made up of multiple states and city-states with a similar culture and language that traded with places as far off as China, how the fuck is that not a civilization. The Nok aren’t the exception you have Ethiopia, Nubia, and the urbanized areas of the upper Niger river valley that gave rise to the Sehalian empires.

@bohemiandoomer44 We are different. But not like 5 races different like hundreds of different populations some separated by thousands miles still having genetic overlap and similarities. Like the people of Nigeria with a r1b haplogroup like in Western Europe.

@fallout1953 Where was the European advancement when the Germanic and Briton Celts were illiterate and states like Nubia had already existed for thousands of years. Nothing stays the same forever. What are these behavioral differences and do you have any evidence that they are genetic in origin? I won’t even touch on IQ as that is a lost cause you people continue to stand for.

@bryansanchez6352 The things that have changed for the most part you can see it clearly. Humans can adapt rapidly to their environments, light skin people can tan in a matter of hours. Wait 10,000 years which is EXTREMELY small of an evolutionary time scale and you can get dark skinned people. A few random mutations over the course of a few centuries can lead to various changes in hair and eye color. Within 4 generations height can vary drastically just through a change in diet. This is applicable to the so called main races we have today as we see a wide range of phenotypes and genotypes within them.

@eliran9231 The Eurasian ancestry doesn’t mean European. They were most likely dark skinned people from southern Arabia.

@Dageka By looking at the rest of the world besides the West And Japan/South Korea they did a pretty shit job at bringing the “civilization”? Or did they do a good job and civilization is code for destruction?

@FukU2222 do twin studies control for every single confounding variable?
