At one point I was reading "The Bell Curve".

In order to have a viable technological civilization, you need a certain minimum percentage of people with IQ above 110 to constitute the middle class. The average IQ in Africa is about 80, which means that the percentage of 110+IQ people there is rather small

The problem may not have a civilized solution

How do we know this?

Is there an uncivilized solution?
