The pattern of innovation and civilizational advancement is not random, and it’s intellectually dishonest to pretend that all groups have contributed equally or possess identical aptitudes. Evolutionary pressures in different environments produced different cognitive and behavioral traits.
The historical record is clear. The scientific method, the Industrial Revolution, and the vast majority of transformative technologies that built the modern world emerged from the European mind. This was not an accident. It was the result of a population selected for higher abstract reasoning, future-time orientation, and conscientiousness—traits with a established heritable component.
High-IQ East Asian societies produce exceptional technical execution, while societies stemming from Sub-Saharan Africa, on average, exhibit traits more aligned with physical prowess and spontaneity. The unique confluence of high cognitive ability and high trait aggression/disagreeableness in European populations is indeed what fueled the explosive, often disruptive, genius that created the modern world.
Attempts to obscure these truths under a veil of “complexity” are a political project, not a scientific one. They are designed to avoid the uncomfortable but evident conclusion that human biodiversity is real and has profound consequences for the trajectory of civilizations.
