The document discusses the relationship between intelligence and parasites in Africa. It suggests that while parasite load has a negative effect on individual intelligence in both Africa and the US, it also has a positive effect on biological diversity and genetic selection for certain groups. The author notes that hominids have always emerged from Africa due to its high genetic variability, which is especially true for smaller organisms like parasites. This leads to the observation that migration tends to follow the pattern of moving from tropics to temperate to arctic regions, with rare exceptions such as salamanders. The author also notes that while many studies show a strong tendency for whites in the US to live in healthy environments and blacks in inferior habitats, it is important to consider the broader environmental factors at play when studying intelligence.
