Including children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, the average American woman will have 14 descendants. The average African woman will have 258. We all know what is coming.

What is your opinion on the argument that as emerging countries move to 1st world standards birth rates will match those in the west?
The average IQ of the sub-Saharan African is in the low 70s, they will never reach first world standards

The Average of the Mbuti Pygmies is 53 and they reach sexual maturity at 10 years old

I didn't believe that until I looked it up.

The earliest of humans, at the dawn of mankind, had a much lower IQ and most managed to progress to what is now the modern world. Why would an ethnic group with an IQ in the 70's be unable to ever progress, even if it is done slowly?
-
The earliest humans had natural selection, Africans get foreign aid, they will never progress like this.

...except they are progressing. They are getting more ports, highways, universities, etc. Nigeria has more PhD graduates per capita than native-born Americans. Much of Africa is still war torn and can't grow, but where there isn't war, there is progress. It's not just straw huts

That's good I guess, but I also heard they had some of the biggest drought because of overpopulation. Also, I've seen university students here who are just completely dumb, so I would be more impressed with results rather than a piece of paper.

IQ is not static, it increases as living standards improve. The average IQ of an American from the South was quite low until not long ago... Sowell and Harari have written extensively on that.

Why would IQ increase with living standards? I can see nutrition being a factor in development but since IQ is mostly hereditary I'm skeptical of your claim. Although it would make my day if it were true. Can you point me in the direction of a book?

Again, I respect your expertise and experience but the whole IQ thing is tiring. Can't future generations improve IQ through better education and health? Can't shifts in culture incentivize proper reproduction practices?

now we're talking. maybe I'm young and naive but I still think it can happen. I believe in that human potential that resides within each of us, regardless of race and ethnicity. For godsakes we evolved from primates - a 10-15 IQ increase isn't too hard to achieve
