The wheel could of totally been invented in Africa, that's like me saying people who live on flat land are lazier therefore would of never invented shovels.
The real fact is that niggers are fucking stupid and can't invent a wheel because the majority of their blood flows to muh dick since their brains aren't utilized as much. That and pushing a stick in the mud.

The wheel wasn't invented in sub-Saharan Africa because there were no animals to domesticate. Wheels were first developed for carts which would have been pulled by animals like oxen and horses.

And then within 5 years of whites being exiled they not only weren't a massive exporter anymore, they couldn't even feed themselves. Is the land itself raycisss?

same with other animals. why would humans be different?
>>68286830
>no animals to domesticate
You act like the world is filled with domesticated animals that need only be leashed. Humans DOMESTICATED the wild animals that are now domesticated: dogs, cats, horses, camels (which are native to West Africa), and others. Thailand domesticated elephants. Hell, a fucking Russian scientist domesticated foxes in as little as one-hundred years. Europeans domesticated pigeons for information messaging. Is it so inconceivable that an African could domesticate the African wild dog (like Europeans did with their wild dogs), the Ethiopian wolf, the zebra, the hyena, the jackal?
How does your race become so retarded that scientists have to result to crafting fictitious claims to prevent embarrassing you?

>The wheel was never invented in Africa because it wouldn't be useful in that terrain.
>Mesoamericans discovered the wheel independently of the Old World even though they were useless in mountainous jungles without beasts of burden
>fucking lizardmen have proven to be smarter than Africans
>>68287288
Also, Indians domesticated Elephants. Pretty sure I've seen pics of yoked buffalo in Asia, too.
If Africans really never invented the wheel, it's probably because their lifestyle was so primitive and their land so rich in immediately-available food and water that they never thought to stockpile resources, nor to move anything from A to B that was heavier than the meal right in front of them. Why would they need a wheel or indeed any infrastructure at all when their environment isn't challenging in the slightest?
>>68287296
The resources in Africa are much more than in the rest of the world. The middle east has oil which is very valueable at the moment and Nigeria has a lot of almost everything that is useful. Nigeria also has a large population, with the abundance that it has it could've been one of the largest economies in the world.

anthropology is a fucking pseudo science, even in my field (psychology) we dont take any research or theory done by them seriously.
Your anthropology professor is right, but for the wrong reasons.
1) The wheel may have been invented, but due to the widespread nature of hunter-gatherer lifestyles and the ease with which this pattern of life could be maintained in Africa, it was not a priority. Thus, the continuance of the H-G lifestyle meant that intensification was not needed in order to support an exploding population and the craftsmen necessary to support that population (and which would have needed support themselves). Again, this is in most areas of Africa; given the immense area of the continent, it is still possible we missed some areas which may hold significant findings.
2) Minute variations are possible, but are mostly statistically insignificant in the grand scheme of things due to the prevalence of gene flow. If they had maintained isolation for far longer (say, like the Abbos in Ausland, but much longer), a statistically significant variation might develop, but for now there are not enough changes in biochemical make-up to justify labeling them as a separate species.

In the unfortunate course of human events, Subsaharan Africans were unable to domesticate the wild road, thus only using sparingly the roads that came by chance under their domain in times of European colonization
the wheel was only invented in the fertile crescent and China, snowniggers adapted the technology from middle easternners
Yet white Rhodesians turned the African bush into a first world country in just a few decades.

that's because we've purposely bred them to be diverse for hunting various animals, security, vanity, etc.
humans still have a great deal of diversity.

Snowniggers invented the wheel
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chariot
The domestication of the horse was an important step toward civilization. An increasing amount of evidence supports the hypothesis that horses were domesticated in the Eurasian Steppes (Dereivka centered in Ukraine) approximately 4000-3500 BC.[1][2][3]
The invention of the wheel used in transportation most likely took place in Europe. Evidence of wheeled vehicles appears from the mid 4th millennium BC near-simultaneously in the Northern Caucasus (Maykop culture), and in Central Europe. The earliest vehicles may have been ox carts.
Starokorsunskaya kurgan in the Kuban region of Russia contains a wagon grave (or chariot burial) of the Maikop Culture (which also had horses). The two solid wooden wheels from this kurgan have been dated to the second half of the fourth millennium. Soon thereafter the number of such burials in this Northern Caucasus region multiplied.
Wasn't the wheel invented in the fertile Crescent and around the Indus Valley? It was also absent in the Americas, the llama being the biggest domesticated animal.

don't start with race. don't start with race. don't start with race.
start with individual differences. will he concede that humans have different cognitive abilities? if so, will he concede that part of those differences are genetic, and thus, heritable.
once you've established those two points, you've got him.
now, don't proceed immediately to race. some people will never get that far. your goal is to move him further than he currently is.
if he concedes cognitive differences that are partially genetic, will he concede they are heritable (he has to concede this)?
then, remind him race is a social construct. we could socially construct a "harvard" race and a "high school dropout race." would he concede that the socially constructed harvard race would produce higher iq children than the high school drop out race? use other examples as is needed.
once you've got him to concede these points, then proceed to ethnic groups, specifically, ashkenazi jews. ask if their high iq is the result of genetics. if he denies it, then bring up that they have more 140+ iqs than any other group, including northern europeans. while geniuses can be taught, you can't teach genius. AND, it isn't like northern europeans have some socioeconomic deficit that would produce so few geniuses compared to the Ashkenazi. If anything, the standard of living among Scandinavians is higher than among Ashkenazi.
This is as far as you can push some people, i.e., that Ashkenazi are more intelligent & that it is partially the result of genetics. What you've done is plant a seed of cognitive dissonance in their mind. They've conceded IQ differences exist, they are partially caused by genetics, and they even produce differences across ethnic groups. It is an easy jump to assume they differ across races. After enough time, some people will make that jump. Others won't. That's all you can do.

But they also had sophisticated irrigation systems and farming layouts that made the best use of their terrain, while africans couldn't grow vegetables from a child's veggie garden starter kit that would give them everything they need, so I guess I'm comparing apples to oranges.

Because morphologically we still produce something that is visibly a baseline human when we reproduce.

That's true, the wheel was invented around 5000 years ago somewhere between Europe and Sumer and went on to spread from there. Whether a civilization invented the wheel or not doesn't mean much, we treat it like some basic conceptual test because it's so primitive, but it was invented at one point in history from which it spread throughout the world.

It's not, and I don't think he really told you this in these worlds. Variations between brains exist, they're observable and quantifiable, so at best he could suggest these variations predate that - but that would have other anthropological consequences.

>2) Minute variations are possible, but are mostly statistically insignificant in the grand scheme of things due to the prevalence of gene flow. If they had maintained isolation for far longer (say, like the Abbos in Ausland, but much longer), a statistically significant variation might develop, but for now there are not enough changes in biochemical make-up to justify labeling them as a separate species.
The point wasn't, different species, only different brain structures.
In a environment which is incredibly hostile towards people, who are incapable to think ahead for at least a few months, it's absurd to assume that people with this capabilities are disproportionately advantaged in survival and mating. If you compare this to a region where intelectual features give you less immediate results than raw physical power, you would think there could be a bigger descrepancy in the intellectual mean. Sub-saharan africans and europeans pretty much were isolated to a greater extend, than you claim. If not people in southern parts of africa would look far more like north africans.
tl;dr European geographical and meteorological features, reward intelectual progress a lot more than african, which would reward physical power and less intelligence, since seasons don't impact the human survival in the same way as in colder regions.
Also don't forget about older human species that mixed with homo sapiens.

One of the most nonsensical things I've ever read on /pol/. In addition, as groups, the various races of Man have distinctive skull shapes, fast/slow-twitch muscle ratios, bone densities, gestation periods, brain sizes, etc. The onset of puberty is statistically significantly different between black Africans and white European-descended people. Also, no surgeon in the world would allow a bone marrow transplant (for instance) from a black person to a white person, because doing so has a 100% death rate. The various races of Man are in fact quite different from one another, in many important ways not relating to skin pigmentation (which pigmentation, melanin, is also found throughout the muscles and brains of those with African genetics, for example).

My own made-up theory is that humans drug things around, possibly on sleds tied to woven materials. They probably also rolled things over logs before making wheels.

zebras are close enough to African horses. in that if you look at their psychical structure, they could be used for similar purposes. i bet in say(i'm just guessing here) 500 years of selective breeding for temperment and any desirable psychical traits you would have an African horse.
I would bet you the domesticated horses of today were not originally quite like they are now before humans started selective breeding them. Africans surely did not lack for time in completing this task, they chose not to or were too dumb to.

Every established civilization has one thing in common. You don't change your definition of comfort to adapt to your environment, you change yoru enviroment to make yourself more comfortable.
And to include all of Africa under the simplistic umbrella of a single terrain, is painfully shallow.
Technology leads to increased farming with excess crops to trade, and goods to barter with. Trade generates the need for roads. The creating of roads is congruent with the development of wheels.
Aftican natives didn't invent the wheel, because they were unable to develop any of the precursor milestones.
tl:dr: niggers were at an evolutionary dead end before whites saved their asses with colonisation. We gave them the ability to breed and populate.

Anthropology is probably the biggest politically correct 'science' you can get into that use to be an actual science. It's a bad joke that won't die. One would think that someone who directly studies people and their cultures would be able to see the vast differences in how different people approached problems specific to their region, and how it would change them physically, but not anthropologists.

Even if you tame a bear and feed it nohing but plants and insects, you'll end up with low quality meat from a slowly growing animal that eats the same things you do.
There's a very good reason bears were never domesticated for the purposes of meat and fur. Laws of thermodynamics, basically.

I have never seen any evidence of this with regard to *black people*, i.e. native sub-Saharan Africans, who were the subject of my post. Whatever other tribal peoples often do is of no consequence to this point.
.
>Not true. Ancient Bantu peoples were proficient in crafting gold, copper, silver, bronze, and iron.
Perhaps — I will change/eliminate that part of my rhetoric if I find that you are correct.
.
>Definitely not true. Stonemasons are an ancient profession, and cut stone isn't an uncommon building material for ancient people who could afford it.
Once again, I was very clearly talking about *black people*, i.e. native sub-Saharan Africans, and I am not aware of any history of theirs which shows them to have ever carved/cut stone. The general ancientness of the stone-carving profession is not germane to this point, and any black Africans who *bought* cut stone would likewise not speak to my point.
With regard to the sail, I will end with the interesting observation that black Africans never even discovered Madagascar — People from Indonesia were the first to discover it.

I'm not talking about pure physical APPEARANCE. I'm talking about physical and physiological differences, of which the brain is included in that set, and which have certainly taken place in many forms.
But the brain can't have changed? Silliness.
Not only that, but brain differences are probably not the only factor in intelligence differences. There can be other physiological differences that increase or decrease intelligence, as well as cultural, etc.
Anthropologists are pseudo-scientists anyway.

you can see if a person is diabetic from how sickly they get when they suffer insulin shock, and hyper/hypoglycemia.
there are only about 20-25k protein coding genes in the human genome. So, while you're technically correct that there are "tens of thousands," you're either being hyperbolic or displaying ignorance, since the number of "tens of thousands" is two.
you also used your french expression wrong. please stop using it until such time as you learn what it means.

>Agricultural land that is not arable according to the FAO definition above includes land that produces crops from woody vegetation, e.g. orchardland, vineyards, coffee plantations, rubber plantations, and land producing nut trees; in addition to land used as pasture and grazed range, and those natural grasslands and sedge meadows that are used for hay production in some regions.
Also, a lot of African land is not arable purely because Africans were too fucking retarded to into irrigation.
>>68290523
It's enough for significant evolutionary changes. Birds for eample diverged from avian dinosaurs around 100 million years ago, which is half the timeframe we're looking at for modern humans.
Given the obvious phenotypical differences between the different races that have arisen over nearly 200,000 years of mostly isolated evolution, it's retarded to suggest that intelligence (which is also a phenotypic trait) has somehow remained the same.

The UK originally would have had fuck all arable land as we used to essentially just be a huge forest island.
>>68296772
The consensus is that what we call intelligence is highly polygenic, with hundreds or thousands of genes contributing to it. If there were clustering of genetic frequencies e.g. different "races" had stastically worse or better clustered genes for intelligence, we would have easily detected that with the roughly 40 years of research into the human genome and human evolution. The different isn't there.

>>It's inconceivable that any variation of the human brain between races could have occurred in the short time span of 200,000 years, since modern man.
-Variation of the body definitely occurred between races.
-80% of all human genes are expressed in the brain.
It's inconceivable that no variation of the brain between races occurred. Anthropologists need to brush up on some biology once in a while.
>>68296421
we have a lot of arable land because we MADE IT arable. we cut down woods and drained swamps.
Your professor is retarded, because the recent scholarship says the wheel was most likely invented by the Proto-Indo-Europeans on the Eurasian steppes.

Equatorial regions also have worse storms (rainy seasons, ocean storms) and because of the milder winters, they have a lot more poisonous species.
Provide evidence that certain regions select for intelligence or stfu. No more anecdotes.

science isn't done by consensus. if it were, we'd still accept lamarckism and a geocentric model of the solar system.
that said, contemporary scientific consensus is extremely suspect due to the current climate of radical left political ideology that absolutely dominates academia today. it's so bad that it's almost a preferable strategy to believe the opposite to the consensus on any given issue. you'll probably be closer to the facts.

Since subspecie = race, the first line would mean that all the dogs belong to the same race, something nobody has ever stated.
Not even a leftist would be dumb enough to deny racial differences among dogs.
Both lines are different subspecies / races. The difference is that for the first one is PC to say the truth about it but for the second one isn't.

this. the absence of seasons that make unprepared survival very unlikely is the reason for the lower average of intelligence in the negroid gene pool
>>68296980
There is no consensus in science, and as soon as anyone says there is my eyebrows raise.
Intelligence is a trait with a multitude of factors, genetics only being one of them.
The fact is there is a high degree of variation in innate intelligence among the races. There is a reason why black people in the USA and Africa both destroy themselves and the societies they live in that CANNOT be explained by cultural differences or economic differences or institutional racism. The fact is it HAS to be physiological to a certain extent.

Hogwash. Before regurgitating a talking point about the difference between phenotype and genotype, show me ONE example from ANY species of creature on the face of the earth where the superficial differences between two of its subspecies are anywhere near as drastic and striking as the visible differences between that typical Australian Aborigine and that typical white European-descended person in my post (>>68296656).

Considering we only mapped the human genome a few years ago and no one knows exactly what causes intelligence to be high or low your claims here are highly suspect.
My guess is you are taking an introductory science or anthropology class and think you have found the answers. That's pretty common for a 1st year undergrad.

No doubt slavery was involved, but it's not unlikely to think the skilled work was performed by actual paid workers. You need overseers, architects, stonecutters, cooks, infrastructure to build a project like this.
I think the most important part of this story might be the definition of slavery. Hard labor paid in food and a place to sleep.

A quick read on Wiki yields this:
>Captain Horace Hayes, in "Points of the Horse" (circa 1893), compared the usefulness of different zebra species. In 1891, Hayes broke a mature, intact mountain zebra stallion to ride in two days time, and the animal was quiet enough for his wife to ride and be photographed upon. He found the Burchell's zebra easy to break, and considered it ideal for domestication, as it was immune to the bite of the tsetse fly. He considered the quagga (now extinct) well-suited to domestication due to being easy to train to saddle and harness.
Bottom line, nogs are just fucking inept.
>>68297519
>There is no clustering of gene frequencies measuring
If there were, the research would be buried, and the researchers discredited. but realistically, that sort of research is not done unless it comes to the foregone conclusion that all traits are evenly distributed across all population groups, and there is no genetic basis for race.
>Science does not care about politics.
correction: science ought not to care about politics, but unfortunately does. every issue you just named has bodies of scholarship against it, funded publicly and by leftist groups. but if that weren't enough, one would need look no further than the tragic cases of james watson, tim hunt, or matt taylor.
