I don't see what this proves

That the baseline potential for intellectual achievement for African descended individuals are on a par with European descended people.  It is largely a function of nurture.  If a person is raised in an environment that rewards intellectual achievement, and refinement. It follows that the person will be intellectual, and refined.
