Oh, you mean a "rah rah our team" difference between Africans, not differences as between civil engineers and gangstas. That's like the difference between supporters of different sports teams. More imagined than real. Racists believe that physical appearance gives good insight into "at your throat" tribal determinants.

Oh come on now. Don't be silly. Pretending everyone can be educated to the same amount is bad for everyone <And I'm sorry to say, but your comment --> " You can't turn a pigs ear into a silk purse with education." is, IMHO, most derogatory, racist and demeaning in the extreme. That is NOT how one should describe ANY groupings of peoples, irrespective of any "Bell Curve", and it is an attitude and opinion that will never contribute to harmony within societies.> To help you see the truth, let's take some extreme examples. Down syndrome children can't be taught Fourier transforms. Neither can most people. Even if you can get people to do some rote learning, you can't also instill in them the creative imagination to take what they have learned up and beyond to something new.

Thats why human progress is so slow, over generations and millennia. Very few of us have got the right stuff.

If you want supersonic smart DNA which can be educated and can then bootstrap launch off into whole new realms, you'll find it in Ashkenazis who sourced their DNA from a small area of north west India and across the middle east to north Africa. They got a lot of other DNA too which is all grist for the mill, but the magic elixir came from a very narrow source, like blue eyes. You won't find it in Zulus or other of your local yokel tribes.

You racists prefer not to see the truth. By the time children are 3 you can see which ones are pigs ears and which are silk purses. Certainly by the time they're 10 the wheat and chaff are clear. Actually, you can see by the time they are a couple of months old. But brains aren't fully grown until they are at full height and they then need a few years to ripen.

One big education mistake these days is to treat boys and girls the same. Girls do better because their brains are fully developed 3 years before boys. So they are filling universities. But boys do better in the high end extreme because they get another 3 years of development time. Of course individuals should all have an individually tailored education but that's not how schools and communism works.

Boys can be better turned into silk purses than can girls even though boys are more like pigs ears when 13 years old while young women look like silk purses. Numerate people will understand that that's a statistical statement and your mileage will vary. Not all boys can be turned into silk purses. Apart from age of maturity, another problem for girls is that they are missing the maniacal DNA that drives boys to compete furiously even at risk of death. Girls are more sensible as shown by the Darwin Award numbers, prison attendance and common experience.
