Topic was a good read.

It's immature to deabate about such a sensitive and indepth subject
like this.

If anyone is really interested in understanding topics of this nature I
suggest reading books by Jared Diamond. He presents non-biased,
well-grounded theories as to why societies (and ultimately the
"intelligence" of it's participants) developed as they did today.

"Guns, Germs and Steel" by Jared Diamond should be compulsory reading. Don't be
put off by the title. I nearly was, but fortunately I bought it and could not
put it down.

Isn't that the same book that gets into the geography - E-W for Europe and
Asia and N-S for Africa? If so, I read it too - quite awhile ago - it was
good.

Agreed, but it does contain some errors (ie, I noted but did not record
some as I read it), and Diamond ignores conflicting evidence. As an
introduction to how to frame the issue, it's worthwhile. As a definitive
treatment of the issue, it's misleading.
