Why some groups are more natural athletes

[Jovan Dragisic]

It’s a bit ridiculous in some otherwise interesting anthropology books (guns, germs & steel, why nations fail) how much people must bend over backwards to keep things in line with that groupthink message that all people are exactly 100% intellectually equal.

This is simply regular Marxist theory. The human individual is nothing but a manifestation of society, and society is just an amalgamation of the prevalent production processes. Of the anthropologists can prove for sure that a society follows a classless system, he will present this society as superior. There is a non Marxist anthropologist here and there, like Mircea Eliade, but those guys are usually portrayed as far right or whatever.
