The history of IQ began in the nineteenth century with sir Francis Galton. By the beginning of 1919, nearly two million American men had taken the Army intelligence tests. That 60 pages research was done in 2005. There were other researches before that, there were others after that. Most of the results are consistent with each other. They have the average IQ scores for the whole world. The average IQ score for Nigeria is 84. Somalia is 68.
I am aware of that, which is why I find it amusing that the choose to compare all of Africa to East Asians. Why not include all of Asia? Why not address different regions or countries in Africa and Asia?
It doesn't suit their agenda though. Nigeria has higher IQ average than India, for example.
On another note, a number of Europeans and their descendants have always felt a very strong need to compare themselves to other groups based on their norms. It seems almost like an unhealthy obsession.
Sorry, a 2 point spread here ain't enough to mean anything in the real world. 20 points I'd agree but not 2.
This discussion is missing you. The point is that the scores are higher for Nigeria. Certainly, you would not argue that 82 is a higher number than 84. But if you must have more, Sierra Leone has an average IQ of 91.
That being said, this is the reason why people only focus on East Asians when comparing to Africans and other African descendants. When you start to look to other parts of Asia and the Pacific Islands, the numbers often drop. They are fooling no one.
Look at the way they have the ranks listed. Whoever put that together is innumerate. They claim the list is from "IQ and the Wealth of Nations" but the actual IQ number given for Nigeria in that book is 69 (64 for Sierra Leone).

That link is the one the other poster put up. There is nothing bogus about it. If you read the top, it gives you the source. It comes straight from here:
1. time to raise the voting age
2. time to dismantle affirmative action
3. time to spank students
My problem is that I feel there is no difference between BLM and the KKK! They are both pushing a racist agenda. There are always extremist in any group that preach racism. Like the Klan burning down the Black churches or some of the BLM crowd looting and burning. Asking for funds, that others do not receive, is also racist.
There should be only one battle cry - ALM (ALL LIVES MATTER).
Many of our students like the idea of 'free'. Perhaps this is why Sanders enjoys support. Of course, when you grow up, you realize that nothing is free. Somebody always has to pay.

Stop the nonsense. The Klan were terrorists who killed thousands.
Anyone who doesnt think there is a difference must be the type to condone murder.

Now you come with another one, to suit your little fancy. Your link says it is an older version from wikipedia that no longer exists. Hilarious.
As stated, based on the links, both Sierra Leone (91) and Nigeria (84) have higher IQs than India (82).
sigh...
The IQ ranking list at the link I posted is the original from the book: "IQ and the Wealth of Nations". Who knows where the other list is from, maybe from that Nigerian who needs my help to move 21 million dollars out of his bank account...

It's just some bogus internet list.
