    I am not asking for any kind of negative attention. It's just that I get 10 non-answers to every real one.

    The ones about cold climate are accurate.

    This is also why we have smaller dicks than other ethnic groups that were in warmer climates.

    And Europe was cold even before Egypt was a civilization. There were ice-age hunters in Europe dating back to over 30,000 years ago.

    So, you're saying that even though Europe was the FIRST to get into the industrial age, it doesn't mean that other places wouldn't have done it eventually? China would be the most likely second option. And once we did it, our new technology compounded and we gained that super advantage over everyone else in a very short time.

    Way before the first European (Portuguese) explorers set sail, explorers from China had been sailing around the Indian Ocean to Africa. For some reason, the emperor called off the voyages saying they were unnecessary. China has had a historic problem of wanting to isolate itself and it has caused them problems time and time again.

    Between 1871-1914, the entire world was annexed by Europe, other than a very few places.

    So why didn't the Thule people beat the U.S. to the moon.

    Speak for yourself.

    Really? My bad. I must have been too busy listening to Jimmy Buffett and Hootie and the BLowfish.

    Personal computers? Internet?

    Mine is above the global average! I am SO GLAD I am not Asian. Oh man!!!

    And yes, that is true, then why didn't Eskimo's put a man on the moon?

    Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, the list could go on and on........

    It's a crap shoot unlikely in the case of nail fungus.

    I'm saying that if our "technology" brain can be attributed to the fact that we evolved in cold climates, then why didn't the eskimos put a man on the moon?

    I'm saying because it doesn't concern them. How a man uses his mind is his choice.

    Besides it is temperate climate as opposed to tropical or arctic climate that contributes to advancing civilization. The human toll exacted in the building of the panama canal or the loss of polar explorers are easy examples of this.

    Us white folks is real good people, no doubt. We're responsible for such high minded thinking and all and that's why the world is such a

    peaceful, sharing, wonderful place to live. Well, except for those dumb-ass peoples of color.

    And I am wondering why we, not an individual, but taking a whole ethnic group as a whole..... would "evolve" to be so good at science and technology.

    We can now fight wars from 1000 miles away using robotic drones to drop laser-guided bombs on enemies that we see with satellites.

    Because there is no such thing as a "technology" brain that can be attributed to cold climates.

    They should have flourished by your reasoning.

    The civilizations in Egypt and Mesopotamia never collapsed. They were taken over, in order, by Persians, Greeks, Romans (later Byzantine), then Arabs, Turks, Europeans, and now they are the modern states of Iraq and Egypt.

    Civilization has existed their non-stop since it started.

    Get the book Guns, Germs, and Steel, by Jared Diamond.
    Go to the PBS site and click on Variables, follow the links in the "Where to next section" for an overview.
