Why are aborigines less smart than other people?
<|assistant|>
There is no evidence to support the claim that Aborigines are "less smart" than other people. Studies have shown that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have similar levels of intelligence to non-Indigenous Australians, with average intelligence test scores being similar across both groups. However, some Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations have experienced higher levels of generational and institutional trauma than other groups, which can manifest in physical and mental health issues, educational underachievement, and more. These issues can have an impact on a range of different areas, including intelligence. Additionally, a lack of access to educational resources and other opportunities can impact intellectual development. Ultimately, it is important to consider these complexities when assessing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander intelligence.
