Here a list of countries with IQ's below 75. Some of these countries have mixed races (Ex:Arab/Negro), so its tough to pinpoint where or which tribe has the lowest IQ.... BUT!!!! do you notice a pattern?
Republic of the Congo 73
Uganda 73
Jamaica 72
Kenya 72
South Africa 72
Sudan 72
Tanzania 72
Ghana 71
Nigeria 67
Guinea 66
Zimbabwe 66
Democratic Republic of the Congo 65
Sierra Leone 64
Ethiopia 63
Equatorial Guinea 59
Also... this nonsence about race as an artificial construct is very easy to disprove with genetics... and if you want me to disprove it.... I will.

There is a book called "IQ and the Wealth Of Nations". It would have figures like that.

The only pattern I see is that the countries mentioned are countries which have been oppressed by the white man.

All this nonsense about race being a social construct rather than a biological reality started with a left winger self-hater named Franz Boas. He promoted absolutely ridiculous ideas such as the idea that the savages had just as good of a society as the modern, educated people.
New Yorker:
Race has everything to do with it. Introduce basic technology to a race of intelligent people, like the Japanese, let it perculate for 100 years, and you get modern Tokyo, leading edge technology and advancement, do the same thing in Africa, or Arabia, and you get nothing, primitives who do nothing with it, might as well hand off ideas and knowledge to chimpanzees, you'll get the same result.
