    No.

    They have an IQ which is 6-7 points higher than the average of Europe. Which gives people the misconception that they are slightly smarter. Fact is northern Europe have a higher IQ than the average of Europe. The more south you go, the more African and Arab genes are mixed in to pull the average somewhat down compared to the far east where there are very few African descendants.

    Also the asian traditions for supporting higher education give the impression that they are smarter.

  • @Janusha

  • @larredgar Africa could be better than the US or Europe.
