In high school I had to read a book called Guns, Germs and Steel. The author's arguement was basically the success of people is based on the geography of where they're born and not their DNA or intellect.

Of course most of the class agreed with the teacher and the author. I quickly pointed out that life began in Africa and its the most resource abundant place on earth but when it was rediscovered people where still living in huts.

Rome was built on swamp and England is on rock yet they managed to conquer the known world despite not having the resources African countries had.
