Not sure what point you're making. I did read the article.

There's no getting around history. The reasons are very complex but the facts are this: in our current period, the distribution of creativity/problem solving/invention is lumped more into some groups than others. Perhaps environmental factors led to this -- perhaps genetic predisposition. It's hard to know.

Humans have been walking upright for around 2 million years. The fact that inventiveness has exploded in the tail end of those 2 million years provides no commentary as to the "group distribution of inventions" going forward.

Peter King, likewise, made no attempt to say that one group will ALWAYS be more represented in the realm of scientific/intellectual achievement, inventions, etc.

All of us (well most of us) recognize that a uniform distribution of intellect/curiosity/problem solving skills is best for humans, and since humans share everything with each other, eventually we'll get there.

The article provided a compelling counter-plea to all of the arguments you put forward, before you even wrote them.

If it's not a reading problem, then it has to be a comprehension problem.
