I believe our ancient ancestors didn't just 'leave Africa'; we fled.

My theory is we were all equally stupid at that point. What happened was those who migrated to the north suddenly had to deal with harsh winters, scarce food, competition, difficult terrain, and a generally harsher environment. A high IQ became necessary to stay alive, better weapons were needed, an alternative to hunting/gathering, ways to keep warm and defend yourself during extended periods of scarcity.

Africans remained in a warm environment surrounded by animals of all sorts who were easy to hunt in the grasslands, and their only need was the ability to run fast enough to escape predators. They never needed to learn how to keep warm or how to hunt more difficult animals or how to create shelter from anything other than the abundant mud, grass, and twigs which were more than enough to shelter them in their friendly weather. Everything was easily and readily available to them, so IQ had no genetic advantage. They instead evolved athleticism.

Fast forward and viola. Skin color adapted to a more difficult environment and so did everything else for the Europeans.

To be fair, I think if we had just let them stay in their native tribal state instead of trying to 'civilize' them with concepts beyond their comprehension, like economics or technology, both groups would be better off right now. As it stands they maintained their tribalism but became obsessed with materialism at the same time. So now they lack the evolutionary IQ necessary to produce and maintain the material things they want, and their only method of obtaining such things is gifts, theft, usurpation, or violence.

It will take thousands of years of evolution for them to adapt to a world totally different than what they're evolved for. We should have just let them live the lives that they were built for, instead of thrusting the result of thousands of years of evolution to an alien environment upon them.

Evolution isn't a Jewish conspiracy. It's Science.
