What allowed europe to invent so many things and become really rich? What allowed them to colonize the rest of the world quite easily? Why do they have advanced cultures compared to everyone else? I'm sure it can't be simplified to average iq like many racists like to.
was europe ""rich"" in 500AD or even 1400AD?

>>16534906What made Europe rich is that Europe as a geographical area produces superior genetics. An ideal mix of IQ, Testosterone, Time Preference, and just general moral sensibilities. Genetics are everything, and even if there was a time where Europe was poor, it would still be a far more desirable place to live than anywhere else in the world.
