Civilizations

Baker, in his book Race, argues that a society originates a “civilization� if, prior to influence from outsiders, (FN1) most of its members meet most of these 21 requirements (Baker, 1974, p 507-508), where “Africans� means sub-Saharan Africans:



Indicia of Civilization

Asians

Caucasians

Africans

1. In the ordinary circumstances of life in public places, they cover
the external genital organs and the greater part of the trunk with
clothes.

2, They keep the body clean and take care to dispose of its waste
products.

3. They do not practice severe mutilation or deformation of the body,
except for medical reasons.

4. They have knowledge of building in brick or stone, if the necessary
materials are available in their territory.

5. Many of them live in towns or cities, which are linked by roads.

6. They cultivate food-plants.

7. They domesticate animals and use some of the larger ones for
transport (or have in the past so used them), if suitable species are
available.

8. They have a knowledge of the use of metals, if these are available.

9. They use wheels.

10. They exchange property by the use of money.

11. They order their society by a system of laws, which are enforced in
such a way that they ordinarily go about their various concerns in
times of peace without danger of attack or arbitrary arrest.

12. They permit accused persons to defend themselves and to bring
witnesses for their defence.

13. They do not use torture to extract information or for punishment.

14. They do not practice cannibalism.

15. Their religious systems include ethical elements and are not purely
or grossly superstitious

16. They use a script (not simply a succession of pictures) to
communicate ideas.

17. There is some facility in the abstract use of numbers, without
consideration of actual objects (or in other words, at least a start
has been made in mathematics).

18. A calendar is in use, accurate to within a few days in the year.

19. Arrangements are made for the instruction of the young in
intellectual subjects.

20. There is some appreciation of the fine arts.

21. Knowledge and understanding are valued as ends in themselves.

A few comments on these items:

3. While there is a mania of tattooing and body piercing sweeping US
youth, this is not considered “severe� mutilation or deformation of the
body.

7. Domesticating animals requires not only foregoing the instant
gratification of eating them, but also caring for them until they have
reproduced. Even then, one must plan still farther ahead by eating only
the worst animals, saving the best for reproduction. Such long-term
planning is not characteristic of Africans.

13. This should be interpreted as open, publicly-accepted torture
against common people, and not during a war.

14. Again, this means openly killing people in order to eat them.

15. On January 9, 2001 a lunar eclipse caused rioting in Nigeria; evil
people were blamed. (“Eclipse Triggers Nigeria Riot,� BBC News, Jan.
10, 2001) Children are often banned by their own parents in the belief
that they are witches. (“DR Congo’s Unhappy Child ‘Witches’,� BBC News,
Jan. 13, 2003).

16. Writing arose independently in at least three places: Mesopotamia,
China, and Mesoamerica, and probably also Egypt and India, but did not
spread to sub-Saharan Africa.

Baker (1974, pp. 506-529) concluded that Caucasians met all 21 criteria
in Sumeria (Iraq), Crete, India, and in Egypt, and the Asians met them
all in China. The Africans and Australian aborigines met virtually none
of the 21 criteria. The list is, of course, open to much dispute, both
as to the elements on it and as to whether or not the three listed
races have met the requirements.

Since the civilization that a people have created is a good indication
of their intelligence and advancement from archaic man, the grandeur of
their civilizations should be consistent with the traits they have, as
previously described, especially brain size and complexity, and this is
indeed the case.

The most advanced civilizations have been created by whites, with the
Asians coming in second. Perhaps the reader believes that the failure
of Africans to create civilizations in the past is not due to genes,
but to an environment that was not encountered by Caucasians and
Asians. It does seem that not only does intelligence increase with
distance from the equator, but so does civilization. Southern Asia is
tropical and it also has a lower level of both intelligence and
civilization. The Incas and Mayans, who created civilizations, lived
near the Equator but were not indigenous to that area, having
originally come from north-east Asia.

Africa is a huge and diverse continent, with southern Africa having a
temperate climate. If there was something unique about the continent
itself that prevented the creation of civilizations, then one would
expect blacks living elsewhere, such as in Haiti (FN3) or Detroit,
(FN4) to build civilizations, but instead they have destroyed the
civilizations that whites had already built there. And one would expect
whites who immigrated to Africa to also fail at building successful
civilizations on that continent, but whites who immigrated into Africa
built first world countries. Those countries, now taken over by
Africans, are descending into chaos. The country of the world’s first
heart transplant, the Union of South Africa, is now the rape (FN5) and
murder (FN6) capital of the world. (FN7) Rhodesia, as it was called
when run by whites, was the breadbasket of Africa and exported grain;
Zimbabwe, as it was renamed when Africans took over, cannot feed half
its own people. (FN8) Liberia, founded by repatriated American slaves,
is dissolving into chaos and cannibalism, despite the infusion of
African Americans who had lived in a white country. (FN9) If Africans
were even capable of keeping a white-created civilization going, one
would expect them to be much better off when Apartheid and the economic
boycotts of South Africa ended in 1994 and the reins of this first
world country were turned over to them. But the National Bureau of
Economic Research found that the average income of all races in South
Africa dropped 40% between 1995 and 2000 and the UN 2006 Human
Development Report found that over the last 3 decades Africa has had a
“virtual reversal� of human development. The deterioration of South
Africa since the end of Apartheid refutes egalitarianism. No country
ruled by blacks has escaped self-inflicted devastation; it is fair to
conclude that they are incapable of achieving or maintaining a modern
civilization when left to themselves. (FN10)

A portion of Stonehenge, built 5000 years ago in England: Notice how
well the huge stones fit together. The circular structure was aligned
with the midsummer sunrise, the midwinter sunset, and the most
southerly rising and northerly setting of the moon, suggesting
possession of a knowledge of astronomy for perhaps thousands of years
prior to its construction. In 2150 BC, a thirty-five ton ‘Heel Stone’
was erected outside the circle. Eighty bluestones, some weighing as
much as four tons, were transported from the Prescelly Mountains in
Wales, 240 miles away. In 2075 BC, the bluestones were taken down and
enormous Sarsen stones, averaging eighteen feet in height and weighing
twenty-five tons, were transported from near another stone ring at
Avebury, twenty miles to the north. (FN11)

Now compare Stonehenge with Great Zimbabwe, the largest ruins in
sub-Saharan Africa:

It consists of plain stone block walls without mortar and dates to less
than 1000 years ago, long after non-Africans had arrived. While
Africans supplied the labour, it is doubtful that they designed it or
instigated its construction as it is not representative of any past
Zimbabwean culture or architectural tradition, and Africans do not make
use of stone construction. It may have been built by Islamic slave
traders as a fortress and slave holding area.

Accomplishments

Charles Murray catalogued all of the accomplishments of man according
to the number of times they were referred to by others (Murray, 2003).
Over 97% of the most important scientists, 74% of the most important
artists and authors, and almost 100% of the greatest composers were
white, almost all males, and mostly from only four countries, Great
Britain, Germany, France, and Italy; the remainder were mostly Asian,
and none were African .

The red hexagon encloses the “European Core,� where 80% of the European
significant figures in human accomplishment grew up. Note that southern
and far northern Europe are outside the core and that Germany is at its
center.

The Chronology of Science and Discovery (Asimov, 1989) lists about 1500
of the most important scientific discoveries. Virtually all were made
by Caucasians and Asians and none by Africans . Similarly, while Asians
appear in American Men and Women of Science at six times their
proportion of the U S. population, African-American representation is
negligible (Weyl, 1989).

Prior to contact with other races, sub-Saharan Africans never invented
the wheel and axle (Baker, 1974, pp 372-373), never smelted metals,
never domesticated a plant or animal, (FN12) never constructed
buildings other than out of plant products and mud (Baker, 1974, pp
368-371), never developed a written language, and could not count
beyond their fingers and toes (Baker, 1974, pp 395-396). Blacks who do
make significant contributions, or at least rise to prominence (other
than in sports and in the media), are almost always mulatto’s with a
large percentage of white heritage (e.g., Colin Powell). (FN13)

Mandated and voluntary affirmative action programs in the West (and
even in the Union of South Africa for black Africans, though blacks are
overwhelmingly in the majority) and political correctness have
exaggerated even the meager achievements of blacks. While at one time
qualified blacks were excluded from certain occupations, by law or by
unions controlled by whites, today the situation is 180° reversed and
unqualified blacks are promoted over more qualified whites. Racial
discrimination against whites is mandated by law in many predominately
white countries. (FN14) Other predominately white countries, such as
the United States, do not have written laws requiring preferential
treatment of non-whites, but do have anti-discrimination laws that
employers must interpret as requiring the hiring and promotion of
minimum numbers of non-whites (quotas) in order to avoid “bad�
publicity, lawsuits, fines, and damages for discriminating.(FN15)

Political appointments of blacks are made to obtain political support
for the appointing politicians. Since the pool of qualified blacks is
much smaller than the pool of qualified whites, blacks are either
appointed to showcase positions or their decision-making authority is
limited. The media is reluctant to criticize prominent blacks,
especially for incompetence, and colleges and universities offer large
amounts of scholarship aid to blacks. (FN16) All these factors give
blacks a huge advantage, yet they still fail to accomplish much.

No black has ever won a Nobel Prize in any of the arts or sciences.
Many of the alleged inventions made by blacks have been greatly
inflated in their importance. (FN17) This is true of the most prominent
black inventor, George Washington Carver, (FN18) yet every schoolchild
knows his name, though none know the names of the white men who
invented plastics, television, the computer, or the internet, all far
more important than some uses for the peanut. (FN19) When a classical
radio station plays a rag, it is almost always a composition by Scott
Joplin, a black composer, though rags are not exactly classical music.
(FN20)

Killing off all the large mammals on a entire continent is probably not
something to brag about, but it is worth noting that they had
disappeared from Asia and Europe by about 10,000 ya and by about 11,000
ya in North America, (FN21) and more recently in Australia, and New
Zealand all, coincidentally, about the same time as the arrival of
technologically-advanced Eurasians. Thankfully, the large mammals in
Africa – e.g., elephants, giraffes, rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses,
lions, and gorillas - were not killed off by Africans, at least not
yet: (FN22)

Since Africans have no compunctions about killing these animals, a fair
conclusion is that the animals were not previously killed off because
Africans had not invented the means to do so.

Conquest is another very un-PC area of accomplishment. Caucasians hold
the record for conquering other peoples, much to the dismay and shame
of Caucasian egalitarians. Portions of all the continents, arguably
excepting Antarctica, have been conquered and seized by Caucasians.
Other than Genghis Khan, this is much less true of Asians and conquest
by Africans of non-Africans is unknown. There was, of course, Hannibal,
but he was Caucasian, he was not from sub-Saharan Africa, and his
attempt at conquest failed.

One might think that Caucasians, as the most accomplished race by far,
would increase in numbers while the numbers of the less accomplished
races declined. After all, doesn’t accomplishment equal better
adaptation, which equals more reproductive success? Not necessarily,
because exactly the reverse is occurring. The white race, which was 25%
of the world’s population in 1900, is now (2005) only about 8 to 10%,
and the number of whites continues to decline, while the populations of
the other races continue to increase. (FN23) Ironically, it is the
accomplishments and sacrifices of whites that have made the vast
expansion of the other races possible.

Evolution, however, does not imply that those who are the most
accomplished in the arts and sciences will have more reproductive
success. “Success� in evolution is not the achievements that Murray
describes in Human Accomplishment, but success in staying alive and
propagating. Caucasians may be good at making discoveries in maths and
science and at creating great works of art, but they aren’t so good at
reproducing themselves which, as far as evolutionary success goes, is
all that counts.

In other words, success in accomplishments implies that Caucasians have
a necessary condition for reproductive success – control of the
resources and technology needed to support an expanding population, but
lack the most important sufficient condition – the will to increase
their numbers. Until the widespread use of effective contraception,
their lack of will would have had little effect, but now people can
choose whether to have children or do something else with their lives,
and so many whites are choosing to do something else that the number of
white births is less than the number of white deaths.

(1) Africa was visited by Europeans, Indians, and Arabs thousands of
years prior to recorded history. This is known because crops and
animals not indigenous to Africa are nevertheless found there. Also,
visitors left many remains of their own civilizations, such as stone
structures, pottery, and metals. (Baker, 1974).

(2) The failure of Africans to domesticate animals is consistent with
their high rate of lactose intolerance. Dr Steinman, Milk Allergy and
Lactose Intolerance, (May, 2002) gives the following figures for
lactose intolerance for children over 5 years old: “90-95% of black
individuals and 20-25% of white individuals throughout the world.�
However, most Asian populations, especially people from Far East, are
also very lactose intolerant (close to 100%). Asians did domesticate
herds, but did not use them for milk. A few African tribes, such as the
Fulani, have low rates of lactose intolerance (around 20-25 percent),
but the Fulani are an Islamic people who likely have an Arabic heritage.

(3) “Between 1844 and 1915 only one Haitian President completed his
term of office. Fourteen were ousted by armed uprisings, one was blown
up, one was poisoned and another was hacked to pieces by a mob. Between
1908 and 1915 the revolutions and assassinations increased so rapidly
that a United States military occupation was needed to restore order.
This lasted from 1915 to 1934. Thereafter followed twelve years of rule
by a mulatto elite which ended in the resumption of control by the
black military in 1946. Since then wholesale corruption and political
murder have been the rule.� (Putnam, 1967).

reclaiming it that it is now one of the greenest cities in the country.

(5) “Is it not horrendous for an adult man to rape a nine-month-old
baby?� Nobel Peace Prize winner archbishop Desmond Tutu, referring to
the belief among South African blacks that raping a baby cures AIDS.

aborigine community of Wadeye was racked by sexual abuse, gang wars,
crime, and poverty. (“Aboriginal township clean-up urged,� Taipei

(11) Oxford University engineer Professor Alexander Thom and the
astronomer Gerald Hawkins pioneered the new field of archaeoastronomy -
the study of the astronomies of ancient civilizations. They showed that
2000 years before Euclid, and at least 3000 years before the sixth
century AD sage Arya Bhata discovered pi, the Pythagorean theorem and
pi were used at Stonehenge. A 4000 year old temple, the Temple of the
Fox, has also been found in Peru that had astronomical features
(Benfer, 2006). Another example: a bronze analogue navigational
computer dated at 80BC was found off a Greek island. See (Wikipedia,
“Antikythera mechanism�; Freeth, 2006).

(12) (Baker, 1974, pp 373-377). However, “[donkeys were] the only
important domestic animal known to come from Africa.� (Hecht, 2004).
Hecht adds that the domestication was only 5000 to 6000 ya in Egypt, so
it was not in sub-Saharan Africa and would have been by Caucasians.

(13) Light-skinned blacks are more intelligent (Lynn, 2006, p 65) and
accomplished (Baker, 1974, pp 503-505) than darker blacks.

(14) One may wonder why a population would pass laws that sacrifice the
interests of its own members to benefit non-members, which is surely
suicidal and maladaptive, but that is a subject for later in this book.

(15) In December, 2005, it was announced that Walmart’s general counsel
told its top 100 law firms that at least one person of color and one
woman must be among the top five relationship attorneys that handle its
business. It is very common for large businesses to require the
promotion of blacks in order for white management to obtain bonuses or
promotions. Also see (Cardwell, 2006).

(16) Bill and Melinda Gates, both of whom are white, have set aside
$1,000,000,000.00 ($1 billion) through their foundation for
scholarships for “minorities,� and many other well-off white people
have created similar scholarship funds with lesser amounts.

Black History� on the internet.

(19) Textbook publishers now require their school books to be “diverse�
to meet state laws for diversity. For example, McGraw-Hill guidelines
for elementary and high school texts specifies that “40% of the people
depicted should be white, 30% Hispanic, 20% African-American, 7% Asian
and 3% Native American.� (Liberty Magazine, Nov., 2006, p. 7). Also see
(Lefkowitz,
1997).

(20) Interestingly, musical ability is associated with intelligence.
However, African Americans do poorer than Europeans on tests of pitch,
tone, and musical memory, and are about the same only on tests of
rhythm. (Lynn, 2006, p 55-57).

(21) For a list, see (Arsuaga, 2001, p. 194; Haywood, 2000, p. 64).
Horses were actually native to North America, but they had been hunted
to extinction by the Indians 10,000 years before the Spaniards arrived;
the Spaniards re-introduced them in the 1500s (Allman, 1994, p. 207).

(22) (Picture from The Sunday Telegraph, Sept. 5, 2004). Now that
Africans have white man’s guns, these and smaller animals are
disappearing. The bonobo chimp is being killed as bush meat, and so are
many other animals that Africans could not have killed without white
technology. The chimpanzee and the gorilla did get some revenge – the
Africans who fed on
them picked up viruses that cause AIDS. (Van Heuverswyn, 2006). That
Eurasians killed off large mammals has been disputed (Guthrie, 2006).

(23) “By 2010, whites will account for only about 9% of the world’s
population, compared with 17% in 1997, according to demographer Harold
Hodgkinson; whites will then be the world’s smallest minority.�
(Rubenstein, 2006).

The White History site contains the magnificent book “March Of The
Titans - A History Of The White Race� by the remarkable Arthur Kemp.

Mr Kemp, a Rhodesian-born genius currently residing in South Africa,
spent the past 25 years researching & writing this incredible book. The
complete book is available online, but a lavishly illustrated printed
version is available for sale - a must have for any racially aware
scholar. Herewith an extract from the preamble:

“March Of The Titans - A History Of The White Race�

The complete and comprehensive history of the White Race, spanning 350
centuries of tumultuous events. This is their incredible story - of
vast visions, empires, achievements, triumphs against staggering odds,
reckless blunders, crushing defeats and stupendous struggles. From the
time of the emergence of the White racial type, their wanderings to the
four corners of the globe, and finally into space itself: This
remarkable story of human endeavour is without parallel or comparison,
and is a story of awe, inspiration and heroism.

Most importantly of all, revealed in this work is the one true cause of
the rise and fall of the world’s greatest empires - that all
civilizations rise and fall according to their racial homogeneity and
nothing else - a nation can survive wars, defeats, natural
catastrophes, but not racial dissolution.
