Does it have something to do with IQ in general?

Pyramids? lol...
still in amazement over ancient building techniques?
How about some examples throughout the last 3000 years of what other races have contributed to the progress of man besides asians and caucasions.
Privilage? Asians? you must be joking....

Black Dragon, I went to your website and it just reinforced my original statement.
Do you want to point out something significant to me in that site?
Please do.
And lets leave out the AMAZING building techniques of 4000 years ago.

Probably because the AMerican natives were idiots who couldn't get the wheel together and were pretty much too busy torturing themselves for the sun or sacrificing each other to move up the tech tree.
Sub-saharan Africa is a hot nasty place so filled with disease that people were dropping from milaria or exhaustion before they were old enought to acquire enough knowledge to apply it in a meaningful way.
And for the retarded cow above who kept mentioning Arab advances - Arabs are from Asia, genius.
And the even more cud chewing retarded cow who said Navejo battle strategies saved America, that battle strategy was being so mentally deficient they never developed a written language. They spoke their native tongue over the radio, and the Japanese couldn't understand them because there were no Navejo to anything dictionaries since the morons never learned to write.

The oldest civilizations are from the middle east (which get ranked as Caucasion for some reason) and Asia (specifically China). As such, they simply have had more time to perfect the ideas of innovation and technology. Much has to do with the climate and circumstances of where these two races live. I do not believe it has anything to do with 'intelligence' and much to do with how the different races view life and their role in nature.

your statement is flawed. forget about Egypt, or even Ethiopia. try the Mali empire, Timbuktu, the queen of Sheba, etc. These empires were not so old, some have only fallen like 300-400 years ago, mainly because, (like the native Americans) they saw themselves as groups of very different people, races even, while the invaders saw themselves as one race. the whole, divided we fall thing.
edit: alright then, that's much easier. if you want to look at for example, blacks individually, and not as an African race, then you don't need to look any farther than the USA to see a great selection of black scientists, doctors, lawyers, soldiers, etc. and Native Americans! The Navajo battle strategies alone saved our asses in modern warfare. unless you want to argue that every single black or native American that made great innovative strides in this country alone has white or Asian blood in them. So what are you asking? if you're not comparing historical cultures, then what are you doing?

You are sure you want to go on record as saying ".. throughout all of history .............".
You have researched all of known history? Or are you just parroting something someone told you?
If you are trying to pump up your racial ego, go out and do something noteworthy.
Ok, will these links do?
As has been remarked on by several other people, its hard to sit down and invent when you are either trying to not be exterminated by Caucasians, and other overly aggressive, warlike people or too tired from having worked their fields, orchards, mines, factories and railroads.
Truly superior cultures and races do not need to subjugate other people to make their civilizations run.
Or are you meaning superior as in willing to do or use whatever or who ever they must for temporary material gain?

What about the pyramids in Egypt? What about the Pyramids in south and central America? What about the hanging gardens in Babylon? Just because life in the plains of Africa and Australia did not require industrialization does not mean that Whites and Asians are superior.

I suggest reading Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs, and Steel". If you accept the thesis of that book, then you'd agree with the other posters who cite resources (variety and availability of domesticable animals and plants, for example), climate, and geography as drivers for technology "wins" by Europeans.

It's to do with culture not race. West Europeans were involved in almost continuous warfare and that provided the incentive for people to come up with new and imaginative weaponry to slaughter their enemies with hence Europeans advanced far more rapidly in technology than other cultures.

Generally, it has to do with their history. History has shaped the European and Asian countries and given them the tools to excel in these areas, as well as the conflicts which made these necessary.

Who say we are? We STILL haven't figured out how they built the pyramids (either in Egypt, or Central and South America). The Maya had an advanced calander while Europe was living in mud huts. Don't delude youself into becoming a Nazi. YBIC

Maybe but if you look back through history you'll see that the Arabs and Muslims did remarkable things as well like they invented democracy and the whites stole it from them. The Arabs perfected the Roman numeral system that the whites now use amoung other things.
