The world's most important map

John Derbyshire recently commented on VDare about the The World's Most Important Map, writing: "I hereby nominate David Becker's "Global distribution of national IQs from psychometric measurements and international school assessment studies, supplemented by geographical averages" as The World's Most Important Map."

Here is the map, showing in visual format the global distribution of national IQ:

And then there is The World's Most Important Graph, which projects incredibly high population growth of Africa compared to Europe:

Derbyshire writes:

The 21st century, like any other century, will deliver many surprises. I feel pretty sure, though, that if you want to keep the number of surprises to a minimum, a good strategy would be to put the two Most Importants together, TWMIG with TWMIM, and stare hard at them for a minute or so before breakfast every day.
