Dangerous territory, but you may have a point. It is also likely that they have decided to follow a secular, rather than a faith based culture.

No.
We've just had far more opportunity to indulge the intelligence we do have because our basic quality of life is better. Every nation has its fair share of geniuses and imbeciles, some just have more opportunities than others.
The idea of the Developed world being more intelligent was a myth propounded by the C18th and C19th European Imperialist explorers and officials who believed that the white races were designed to subdue and teach the native 'savages' - 'The white man's burden', as Rudyard Kipling called it. It was this idea that Western knowledge equalled power that meant that the native knowledge and intelligence was belittled and lost as the developing worlds were forced into a Western ideal which couldn't suit their lifestyle.
Hence the Developing world has remained in the shadow of the West as it struggles to keep up with an alien and external culture it can never really match. This doesn't mean they are more or less intelligent, just different.
Personally I think that the knowledge and ability to live as one with your environment, taking only what you need, is a policy that the 'intelligent' West has forgotten but we could all do well to remember.
Did you know that the people of every nation have their roots in Africa...?

The richness of a country has nothing to do with the IQ levels of its citizens. There are many great intellectuals & scientists in the developing nations too.

no!! not at all, developed nations robbed poor nations of wealth, natural resources, intellectual ideas. India is the only country in the world, it's industry is knowledge based. You don't do that by being stupid.

Definately NOT.
All the problems on earth were caused by the people of developed countries.Just how intelligent were they in the first place.
Poverty/wealth has no impact on intelligence.

Why even ask that question that approach? you will possibly have pronounced; Do you human beings approve using great nicely funded police forces to attack and wreck criminals. As for Iraq, Afghanistan or the different united states that provides help and convenience to our enemies they're hiding our enemies interior the back of their women human beings and little ones then they cry while their women human beings and little ones are killed yet they knew that they had be killed interior the 1st area and so as that they chosen to be our enemies. different than for the Koran says killing women human beings and little ones is only suitable . Did the 9-11 attack kill easiest adult adult males or each and every physique? Did the Islamic ethnic cleansing of the Christians in Estonia only kill the adult adult males or did in addition they kill the ladies and little ones? Did they persist with the classes of Allah and kill each and every physique? Are the female college instructors in Thailand being killed via Islamic Jihads secure via skill of Allah ? No. Do you sense that the USA is flawed for protecting itself and attacking our enemies particularly while they have considered one of those savage history of homicide? the USA has finished suitable to attack the criminals that desire to break us.

no the developed nations are greedier, stole the developing nations of their natural resources and then lent them money so they could rape them with taxes.
this was so it would take them longer to develop.......

no, this is simply no way to subdivide the people of the world. this question just expresses a racist view of developing countries.
