If you go back to thousand years why would a kid born in Belgium have any advantage over a kid born in Angola? Or let's make it five thousand years. I'm not talking about since the industrial revolution of course a kid born in 1950 in Belgium has an advantage over a kid born in 1950 in Angola. But the whole question has to be asked that before One race started to mess around or colonize with another race how is it that Belgium or Europe was already on the path to scientific discovery and the foundation of educational institutions even 2000 years ago or so thanks to the Romans of course and the Greeks and the Egyptians before them but still Egypt is right there in Africa why wasn't that culture spread around to other parts of Africa? Then you have the philosophers of Greece and a Babylon and Persia all contributing to Scientific breakthroughs. but if you go back a couple of thousand years they were all living poor in the desert just like little motombo

*****JUST LIKE LITTLE MUTOMBO****

so what was the difference then, just random chance?

shall we not be inclined to make sweeping generalizations based on the course of the last three or four thousand years of human history prior to the Industrial Revolution?
