Serious question, why were native groups of the Americas still

Serious question, why were native groups of the Americas still more advanced than those in Africa during pre-Columbian times? Without getting into race, what helped the American tribes thrive better than African ones? Even the Inuit were pretty intelligent. They used seal fat for oil lamps and built homes out of ice that managed to keep them warm. They even successfully drove out the Vikings that settled in North America before the colonial era.

Once you know there is a difference of IQ between races everything gets clearer.
Also niggers

How is that more advanced than this?

I was referring to the number of advanced civilizations, not the level of advancement.

North America had the Pueblos, Incas, Mayans, Rapa Nui (of Easter Island), etc.

All Africa really had was Egypt and the Nubians/Aksumites. I don't count anything after the Muslim colonization because they weren't native groups.

>built igloos
This one doesn't even make any sense because of course they'd build it out of snow since there was nothing else.They also had around 15.000 years to perfect it
>Vikings
Driving away a few improvished settlers isn't much of an accomplishment.
The natives were never that advanced since they almost never built city states until the early ADs
It really depends on where in Africa that you are talking about
They were using "Knights" and gunpowder in the Horn of Africa by around 1530..

There's not much you could do in a frozen tundra which is why they had to use seal fat for oil because there were no forests. Why do you think nobody ever inhabited Antarctica? They might have visited but would've died off fast. The Inuit were smart enough to survive this kind of climate and yet African tribes were struggling just to survive the desert.

Also you're comparing the "early ADs" to 1530? Really? 1530 was after colonization I'm pretty sure. I think Columbus landed in America in the 1400s so of course Europeans would've been dominating the rest of the globe by 1530.

Depends if you count Mali, Ashanti, Ghana, Zimbabwe, etc. as advanced civilizations

I would considering they had a government with checks and balances, a standing army, architecture for royalty and civics, and traded with far off nations
>>
>>69958247
the advancements of civilizations is pretty much all due to geography

>north africa was a part of medditerranean, led to extensive trade networks, import of livestock and working animals, and advanced agriculture
>this propped up islamic north africa, carthage etc

>central africa
>god awful terrain to pass due to desert to the north and jungles, leading to only relevant civilizations to be formed around riviers like the niger and senegal etc
>this led to a lack of access to international trade routes and lack of arable land for agriculture, severely crippling these civilizations

hell, most of continental europe didn't even become relevant until the mini ice age of europe was over, leading to greater crop seasons, better agriculture in general and easier transportation among trade routes

the americas held vast resources and central america specifically had a certain amount of working animals and decent climate and land for agriculture, and the geography of central america (not huehue jungle land) made trade between natives very possible

They're all leftists who try to give golden participation stars to Africans by convincing people that the scale of civilization in a place like Songhai was actually comparable to what was found in Meso-America, Europe, East Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia.

They're intellectually unwilling to just do an honest blunt comparison and realize that some places (most of North America, Western Africa, Southern Africa, Australia, etc.) simply had backwards people who never amounted to anything.
>>
>>69959522
It depends whether or not they were native groups. I don't know the history but I assume they most likely migrated from previously established colonies in East Africa.
>>
>>69959971
The bantu (west africans) themselves had a agricultural revolution which lead to an expansion into Central Africa and certain parts of Eastern and Northern Africa.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bantu_expansion

Contrary to popular belief West Africa did develop agriculture and professions.

Southern Africa before The Cushites expanded and the bantus expanded down was virtually all hunter gatherer and is the primary source of tribal living today.

Supposedly Mali was founded by Ethiopian muslims who migrated west but thats really just an Urban legend with little proof.

Certain Chadic societies have significant European admixture in Western Africa but thats pretty limited.

Either way they were obviously heavily influenced by North Africa nevertheless

America is the perfect place for civilization. It has plains, rivers, fertile soil, many resources, good weather, not many disease.
Africa not so much. In Congo there is heavy downpour, jungle makes soil unusable for agriculture, many disease.

Does living in colder northern climates put greater emphasis on development of abstract reasoning rather than reflexive thought?

Just because you've never been taught about advanced African civilizations doesn't mean they never existed.

The British, French, Belgians, Germans burned down many African cities during colonization and museums the world over are filled with African art and artifacts.

1. central america is jungle land x2
2. natives from central america didnt interact from those in north america nor south america
3. only south america had llamas

on the other hand eastern africa had plentiful trade with india, and western africa thrived on salt at a time... you got almost everything wrong dindu
