there is no universal scale that measures intelligence without the result skewed biasly.

true that the bushmen are the outliers here, so lets take them out of the context and compare those that are of the same given education, environmental factors and health conditions.

and take a look at stereotypes ie indians = doctors, chinese = accountants etc. these stereotypes should account for a certain degree of credibility for it to become a generalization right?

I have a uni-friend back in Australia of Aborigine origin but adopted when few months old by a couple, foster-dad professor in Uni, foster-mom lawyer and he grows up to be 1 of the youngest CEO in the country today. I wont mention name but is this a good success measures not in blood-line but upbringing environment?

I always belief that if we were to sit for an IQ test set by the Aborigine way, I think we will all failed miserably with the lowest IQ fit for survival. So for the modernised societies to categorise the other societies that their races are of poor mental alertness or acuteness or intelligence for that matter is rather very lame and irresponsible.

It is as good as saying that a room full of Japanese/Koreans/Chinese has higher intelligence than a full room of Red Indian/Aborigine/Orang asli. Try and dump these two groups in a remote isolated island and see which group will last the longer.

My point is human being has always have an urge to strive for more in things they do, ie. more money, power, fame, etc. but these are for the societies that values them. As for "bushmen societies type" they will probably strive for more live-stock breeding, better crops output, better yield, etc. and so they will have their own intelligence to achieve that.

Stereotyping races is such an abhorrent act. Look at the malay race itself and you will see good example. There are more malays in SG and Indonesia that is so successful in business and studies compares to the locals here but can we categorise malay race as an incompetent race? The locals are as such bcos of forever handouts and non-competitive environment they are in, so forever they will rank 2nd class to their malays counterpart in other region of the world.
