here. An interesting academic post about the history of Africa and how it lagged behind. Is it correct on an empirical basis, however?
The HBD brigade has been extensively debunked here on Reloaded and ES.
People are learning the truth as time goes on.
See for example

Why HBD or hereditarianism lacks credibility
nilevalleypeoples.blogspot.com/2014/10/why-hbd-or-hereditarianism-lacks.htmlA lot of bogus claims are weak on 8 points:
1-- Lack of up to date knowledge on history, anthropology and economics
2-- Weak logic and analysis in general
3-- Use of name-calling, labeling etc as a substitute for clear, logical analysis
4-- A penchant for building dubious or bogus strawmen to "refute"
5-- Frequent use of easy one-liners as a substitute for logic or analysis
6-- An underlying racial animus against blacks and racial double standards
7-- A penchant for covering the above weaknesses by playing the "political correctness" claim card
8-- Using of "supporting" references that actually debunk or contradict they claim they are trying to make
