is it possible that some races are intellectually inferior than the other.
i know it sounds ultra racist, but lets try to be objective and scientific here. be realistic.
haven't you noticed: while the Africans were busy hunting wild animals, the Greeks and Egyptians were already busy with geometry.
while the eskimos were building igloos, the Chinese already completed the great wall.
while the Polynesians were sailing the wide Pacific, the Europeans already circumnavigated the globe.
is it really possible that some cultures are more mentally advance than others?

No.
What a ridiculous idea.
Civilizations developed at their own rate. Many factors decide how quickly societies change and adapt.
If you study genographics, you will see that, due to humanity's migrations, different societies did different things. Those peoples who had a tendency to stay in one place usually developed civilization quicker than those who were in generational migration for centuries.
Then you must consider wars, invasions, diseases, etc.
We are all born with the same potential. What one does with that potential determines their path....

Researches have demonstrated that IQ is related to the number of gray matter and white matter on specific location in the brains; the mass of the neocortical matter compared to body mass; the number of circonvolution, etc. brain size only show a very weak correlation of about 0.4 with IQ. Intelligence is partly genetics, now we must know how to measure the environmental effects on IQ to know whether a race is generally more or less intelligent than another.

Is it possible that races grow at different rates because of their cultures? Does that make one race smarter than another? Is there a point in time where one race will slow in growth while the other continues to improve itself? No I believe no race is smarter than another. I do believe individuals have different intelligent levels and that is a good thing. Too many who 'know it all' can ruin a society. Good luck on your answers.

What a load of old cobblers some people pose on here in the pretense of asking questions.
