Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Kenya Finally Discovers the Wheel

So they finally discovered the wheel,I wonder if the guy in white goggled it with the cell phone he is playing with.

I just shudder when someone quotes "Guns, Germs and Steel" as a basis for the Great Apology. Other than "Silent Spring" I doubt if there ever was a more factually deficient tale ever spun. It's another story for another time, but Rachel Carson has done more to control African population than all the tribal wars combined. Back on topic, admittedly, not much in the way of civilized progress has gone on around the equator through the ages. But, northern Peru, 8 or 9,000 BC, with arguably the worst soil in the world, a dreadful climate, constant earthquakes and volcanoes etc. had a flourishing civilization and culture. Not so much equatorial Africa. Or Detroit.

Is Detroit the second coming of Kenya?

I got no dog in that fight, nor any particular agenda thereto, but I do believe that the genetic evidence pretty much deflates the solutrean crossing theory.
It is a fact that southeastern Europe was the west's link to Asia. The only haplogroup that might support the solutrean hypothesis is found throughout most of Asia, excluding the southeast. The haplogroup in question is found in a broad fan from Turkey through Siberia.

I’ve been, and met more’n a few Africans who were smarter than i was. Then again, I grew up in an England that was still Lilly-White.

Been living for more’n a half century now here in America, where most everybody is originally from somewhere else.

So I have this idea about evaluating people one at a time, based upon their own merits.

Then too, neither I myself nor my kin have significantly advanced he course of western civilization, so I’m a tad uncomfortable claiming credit for anything based upon color (ain’t that a Democrap thing?)

There and Chitcago

While individuals will fall within a wide range of capability, it is telling that there is virtually no place on earth run by a black society, that is successful, by the standards of the rest of us.

You can drop the "virtually'...there is NO place.

You aren't the only one that has traveled a bit.

I accept that there are differences between people and cultures.

They'd just use it for sex anyway.

Birdwatcher, I have had some friends who were from Africa.
At Georgia State University, I was on the soccer team with Peter Makay, from Rhodesia. Peter called it Zimbabwe.
Peter was a good soccer player, right off, I respected him for that. Obviously very intelligent. Peter went on to get a Phd in History, and a law degree, and was a professor at Middle Georgia College.

And at Georgia College, I had a teammate from Nigeria. Mike Iteogu was a great soccer player and he went on to get a Phd in pharmacy, opened a business in Macon Georgia. Good guy, Mike, he was a friend of mine. Obviously smart as a whip.

So, I know that blacks are not genetically inferior.

On the other hand, both of these guys got the hell out of Africa and didn't go back. In 1970 when Rhodesia was run by Whities, it was a prosperous country and grew so much food that they exported food. Blacks took over and turned it into a hell hole where people starve to death.

Every country that is run by Negroes is a disaster, and it is not just Africa. What country has the lowest standard of living in the Western Hemisphere? Even lower than Mexico, or El Salvador? Haiti.
