Yes, high iq populations tend to be located away from the equator. Natural selection made them smarter and more creative.

what do you think would be easier, living near the equator in a literal garden of eden full of tasty fruits and animals, or living up north where it snows for 6 months of the year and there's literally nothing to eat but pine cones and squirrels?

not exactly. it just kills off the lower IQ individuals.

But isnt it just as hard to live in the desert

It doesn't "boost" IQ, it selects for pro-social behavior and other cognitively beneficial behaviors.

Which is why arabs aren't half as retarded as blacks
That being said it's damn near impossible to live inna desert

there's a reason they call them Sub-Saharan Africans

you know... below the Sahara desert?

Very few people actually live in an open desert. Most of them live near rivers/oceans when it comes to arid climates.

Warm makes you lazy, and you lose track of seasons/time
