Can you please point out where I said that we are foolish and the whites are smart?

We are equally smart but lazy in collective thinking and effort.

Even laziness can be traced to climate and environment, frankly.

The aboriginals of Australia, PNG, New Zealand as well as minority tribes in Indonesia, Bangladesh and India are dark skinned with thick, curly hair.

They are not negroid. Can you tell me why. And can be you the genius you know you are and go further to corelate the answer to your question on the weather of those places and the weather in Africa.

There is also evolution and mutation of the species, given that most anthropologists believe that the human race started in Africa.

Pray tell what are you suggesting here? A Darwinistic ladder with the negro at the bottom and the caucasian at the top?

You keep saying we are lazy in our thinking. I told you Europe stagnated for over one thousand years. That did't even prick a thought in you.

You are so simplistic it is painful to reach. I wince.

The Aboriginal Australians: The First Inhabitants Of Australia Were Black People

When you think of the people from Australia, you rarely think of Black people, and for good reason; most of the continent is white. But what if I told you that it didn’t start that way and that the first people to roam the lands of Australia were Black migrants who arrived on the continent almost 80,000 years ago. These people are known as the Australian Aboriginal peoples.

The Aboriginal Australians are indigenous peoples of the Australian mainland, as well as many of its small islands. Scientists believe they range from Asian to African descent.

Data from the 2016 Australian Census revealed that Indigenous Australians comprised just 3.3% of Australia’s population. Although small in numbers, their story is very important in understanding the history of global blackness.

Most people believe slavery is the reason Black faces have spread all across the globe, but that is just not true.

Some scientists believe the ancestors of the Aboriginals migrated from parts of South East Asia and Africa during the Pleistocene, also known as the Ice Age. Due to lower sea levels, the Aboriginals were able to live on large sections of the Australian continental shelf.

For years most scientists believed the Australian Aboriginal people largely descended from Southeast Asian countries. But in 2011, Morten Rasmussen extracted genetic DNA from an early-20th-century lock of an Aboriginal person’s hair and found although it was likely they migrated from South Asia, the modern Aboriginal Australians were the direct descendants of the eastern wave, who left Africa more than 75,000 years ago. These travelers made their way through South Asia before settling in Australia.

The findings also suggested that the Aboriginals have occupied the same territory longer than any other human population outside of Africa.

Life for the Aboriginals centers around hunting and gathering. But some scholars also believe the evidence proves they also built lives around agriculture and farming, as well as aquaculture, raising and harvesting fish.

During the early periods of Australia, there were more than 250 different Aboriginal languages with more than 800 varying dialects. Now, only about 13 traditional languages remain.

This is escapist and meaningless. Aboriginal Australians are not negro. I used the word negro for a reason. I am fully aware there are people considered black even in India.

I think you are still being terribly lazy and ignorant. And escapist.

Up there early in this thread, I put up several links to scientific studies which established the link between climate and civilization. Have you bothered to look at any of them?

Anonimi, calling Australian aboriginals negro on account of the color of their skin is quite as bad as calling Chinese people Caucasian, since they have the same skin color. The races are distinguished by more features than color alone.

Where did I call them negros?

Well I referred to negroid people and deliberately avoided the word black, so you can let me rest on that.

Now if we wish to make progress, let me put to you a small simple question, which is so simple, even you can neither mangle it nor fail to see its rationale: Do you not suppose that in cold parts of the world, people are more likely to develop heat based technology?

In hot and humid parts of the world, are people more likely to develop cooling and dehumidifying technologies

From a distance, I anticipated this response. You have a long way to go. But if you are patient and humble, we can get there. Now, here is your answer. People do not live in those parts of the world where weather is so extreme that they will perish from it. Ergo, the Sahara desert is mostly uninhabited and so is Antartica. People however still live in parts of the world which are still very cold and very warm.

Now here is the difference. People actually freeze to death in those cold inhabited places. Only rarely do people die from warmth in the warm parts of the world. Indeed, it is often only by a rare heatwave. Such as that which has occurred in Saudi Arabia recently.

So people living in Europe actually perish regularly from cold, especially the elderly. This continues even in the modern age, but you can imagine how much worse it was through history. But it goes beyond this. It actually goes to the cycle of seasons in that part of the world.

Without a certain foreplanning and organization, no one will survive winter, period.

Food has to be stored up in advance and many arrangements made. There has to be deliberate investment with heat. And in this gradually you find a relationship with all the things that a familiarity with heat and a romance with it bring: smelters, blacksmithing, coal mining, and in these things rest the beginnings of industry.

The conditions in the tropics do not impel these developments, and even if you are right that those people in living in the tropics should have been impelled to seek cold (which is actually not the case because they dont suffer the life threatening realities which those in the colder regions ofthe world do - there is bountiful fertility mostly all year round in terms of food for example, and the heat, even if stifling at times, is not life threatening in the same way) - but like I said, even if we accept your argument, the truth is that they will be fleeing heat and not seeking it. And it is in the search for heat that industry and technology rise - everything related to industrial and technological development arises therefrom - indeed, it is no wonder that these people would be militarily stronger as well for they play with fire - they smelt weapons thereby, they become acqainted with firepower far more directly. This all arises from a constant search for heat.

There is an old saying that necessity is the mother of invention and in this saying rests all that needs to be said actually.

Quite often great inventions are thrown up during the most dire periods of struggle for example, as a sheer necessity for survival.

Think, my friend, think. It is insufficient and lazy to simply say "we are lazy in our collective thinking." The rigorous question to ask is "why so?"

I have just touched upon a small part of the matter. It is a vast topic that ranges from climate to geography to even zoology and botany, because the very flora and fauna of a land also count. Natural barriers count. Lands aligned in such a way as to promote interaction with other peoples are more favorable than lands hived off and locked off to trade by natural barriers. So much to discuss that counts. Above all, use your brain please.

Stop the laziness of simply repeating that we are lazy. Surely you see an irony in that.

I have used my brain to point out the failure of blacks in South Africa’s ANC to maintain stable power supply in three decades. Just maintain o. Did it take three decades from 1971 for Qatar and UAE to become successful after independence?

I have also used my brain to puncture your cold climate excuse for our inability to innovate and make our environment better.

I hope you will finally use your brain to stop making excuses for our failures and start working on the solutions.

Alas I am speaking about a process spanning thousands of years and you are speaking about a few decades. We clearly cannot communicate.

We'd better leave it there.

The fact that you expect such a deprived and abused population as black South Africa to suddenly become first class in three decades says it all.

It is also telling that you have no word on all the scientific research I provided about climate and civilization.

I have nothing to add.
