White people have higher IQs on average because they evolved in cold environments where strategic thinking was necessary for survival, whereas people in equatorial regions evolved to be strong and cunning rather than strategically intelligent.

But that isn't meaning that we hate black people, because there are black people, statistically, they're as smart as anybody on the planet. It means on average, whites have the highest IQ. On average, well, you better have an IQ if you were spending hundreds of thousands of years in frozen wasteland at the top of the planet, because if you got back in your cave 10 minutes too late, you were dead in the doornail. In Africa and other areas in the equatorial regions, it was about how strong you were, how fast you were, how cunning you were. It's not about long-term strategic thinking.
