Of course a civilization that's not as educated would have a lower iq. Civilizations adapt and as they become more developed, they will become smarter. No civilization has been at the top just because they are permanently genetically better than others, they just had providence on there side to make more advancements and therefore raise their iq.
Africans having a lower iq has to do with not having the circumstantial luck to become more developed, it doesn't have to do with them being permanently genetically dumber.
Why not both?
I'm both smarter because I had the providence to be educated and because my genetics engineered me to be smarter.
It's not an offenses to recognise that both nature and nurture are in effect.
But you are kind of an emotional immature retard if you can't accept reality because it hurts your ego.
The providence to get advancements, enables a society to be more educated, which in turn creates smarter people down the line. People become genetically smarter.
I'm just arguing that the genetics of intelligence aren't set and stone and people groups can become smarter.
