What prevented Africans from developing mathematics like every

>>2817602
The oldest known tool of mathematics is the Ishango bone, secondly West African use of fractals is widely known and spoken on.

>>2817602
If you must understand, visit black public schools in the USA and observe the behavior of the humans in class.

>>2817602
Wtf you're talking about? Egyptians knew mathematics.

>>2817617
Egyptians aren't any more African than Boers are.

>>2817623
Egypt is literally in Africa.

>>2817623
No.

they couldn't even come up with constellations or a zodiac, does africa have issues with the skyline or something?

>>2817632
Not all of it. And Egptyans themselves are a Levantine people who settled Africa.

>>2817639
Some nigger tribe called the Dogon believed in ayylmaos from a star in a constellation.

>In statistics, the Rao–Blackwell theorem, sometimes referred to as the Rao–Blackwell–Kolmogorov theorem, is a result which characterizes the transformation of an arbitrarily crude estimator into an estimator that is optimal by the mean-squared-error criterion or any of a variety of similar criteria.
Can you human do this?
> As a pioneer in neurosurgery, Carson's achievements include performing the only successful separation of conjoined twins joined at the back of the head, pioneering the first successful neurosurgical procedure on a fetus inside the womb, performing the first completely successful separation of type-2 vertical craniopagus twins, developing new methods to treat brain-stem tumors, and reviving hemispherectomy techniques for controlling seizures.[3][4][5][6][7]

That's your hypothesis. Nobody cares what you think happened.

This goes against paleo-migrational data as well as archeological data.

And you say the guy is a retard. You're dishonest and a moron. Can you understand the math in that theorem, you piece of shit?

>>2817672
>Nabta Playa and the Neolithic Subpluvia
What does that have to do with saying Egyptians weren't Levantines who migrated into North Africa (which they were).

>>2817653
>one black does something good
Ok

>>2817679
Sleepy Ben did that?

>>2817679
He's the only doctor with the equipment to perform the only successful separation of a conjoined twin*.
>can I understand
Indeed I can, and I can safely say that all beautiful results in probability such as Poincare recurrence makes no reference to the messy and brainlet-filled field of statistics.

>>2817680
Because the physical anthropological data as well as material culture and population structure aligns with deep Saharan folk and foodways that extended from Chad and Niger leading to the most complex and populated region of the Nile at the time with key markers of proto-dynastic and pre-dynastic Egypt.

Known for:
Rao–Blackwell theorem
Blackwell channel
Blackwell's approachability theory
Arbitrarily varying channel
Games of imperfect information
Dirichlet distribution
Mathematical economics
Recursive economics
Sequential analysis
Optimal searching in boxes

Dumbass. I'm not saying he is the greatest mathematician of all time. The dude said blacks aren't human. How can a non-human achieve all of that?

Monkey see monkey do. Infinitely many monkeys typing randomly on a typewriter for an arbitrary long time can reproduce the complete works of Shakespeare.

Niggerposting at its finest.

>>2817757
that pretty much disproves the entire human endeavors though, not only blacks

>>2817771
You're saying that a guy that has his name attached to a theorem with a mathematicians like Kolmogorov is just a monkey that somehow learned maths that 99% of this board can't comprehend. This is beyond retarded.

>>2817757
Also the odds of the monkey thing:
>However, the probability that monkeys filling the observable universe would type a complete work such as Shakespeare's Hamlet is so tiny that the chance of it occurring during a period of time hundreds of thousands of orders of magnitude longer than the age of the universe is extremely low (but technically not zero).

>>2817785
Blackwell is one guy...and he wouldn't even be considered among the greatest 20th century mathematicians like Grothendieck or Von Neumann

in fact the so called greatest black mathematician once said that Von Neumann knew more about his obscure college thesis, then he did...and Von Neumann literally learned the topic right there

>>2817772
Except those results that took genuine inspiration like inventing fucking calculus, predicting topological orders in materials, Curry-Howard, AdS/CFT, Hilbert's Nullstellensatz, Atiyah-Singer index theorem, etc. Aside from the ones I've already mentioned.
Animals in general are not capable of abstract rational thought. They can only parrot and build upon those before them in a robotic manner.
>>2817785
Fucking idiot doesn't even realize that the appending of a famous persons name to a theorem doesn't mean the person has personally worked on it. It's sometimes out of respect (which is most often the case for name appended at the very end) and, in this case, publicity.

The greatest mathematician was a white man

>>2817805
This isn't to discredit Blackwell who was a very smart man

but he was just a major contributor of Game Theory, he didn't invent it (that was Von Neumann) nor had the biggest contributions to it like Nash

>>2817805
>>2817820
>>2817828
>>2817805
The argument was to show that calling blacks non-human is objectively wrong. Also Von Neumann was a freak of nature. He knew more than anyone else including whites, jews or whatever the fuck you were.

>>2817857
This thread was more about Ancient Africa...

besides early things like the Ishingo Bone, math did not develop that much in Africa


and you can't blame that on geography, since Pre Columbian America produced mathematics of efficient level as well

>>2817857
So if a wolf discovered pythagoras theorem then that means that all wolves are smart?

>>2817868
You think a wolf has the cognitive capacity to discover the pythagoras theorem?

White men have the average IQ of 100 most genius are like >180. The argument of the wolf apply here too.

>>2817865
This is incorrect I recommend

this is incorrect


Fractals were discovered by Benoit Mandelbrot

>>2817874
Point is just because some blacks are smart doesnt mean all are.

>>2817886
No, he coined the term and greatly added to Fractals. He did not "invent" Fractals, no one person could.

I read the "history" part of the theories you named on wikipedia and it looks they built on previous work too.

but if he completed such a great achievement that you can't prove would ever be done without his contributions, did affirmative action not do it's job?

>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>2817808
So you're saying he was just a fake math guy who never did any math, and just got his name put on a theorem cause of a publicity stunt, and did not, in fact, know any complex math, cause affirmative action let old boy do algebra problems while everybody else was doing calculus?

>>2817632
He doesn't mean African he means subharren black African. The American term.

>>2817972
I didn't hear him say Subsaharan Africa, I heard him say Africa. And if the American term for the subsaharan is the whole of Africa, that's fairly autistic of them

that pyramid is a fission reactor.
its all in the bibble, tells how mosses betraid earth to yahwh and removed the ark of the covenant from the great pyramid thus powering down earth intergalactic shield leavening us helpless to yahwhs space fleet that then decimates sodoam and ghrimorea, felling the great towers of bhaal.

Sub-Saharan Africans have too low of an intelligence to form civilization by themselves. Sorry, if you find this racist, but it is fact. Their average IQ is about 35-40 points lower than the middle east.

Isolation, hostile location and a lack of communication outside of other colonies leading to a lack of influence on how society should be built. That's why Ethiopia was a prominent kingdom and flourished due to not being all the negative things listed above.

Why do people get so obsessed with proving the superiority of your own race? What's it to you if a black people are equal to you?

How hard is it to make an advanced society in Africa?

Find a savanna

Build some stone buildings

Start trading with other tribes

Teach tribes how to make society

And voila you now have an endless chain of civilization in black Africa.

However the blacks are too stupid to do this.

Blackwell isn't a good example, since he was trained under a Western math system..
