Europeans are the baby of the Human Family Tree. It was just 500yrs ago they wrote their version of the Bible. They didn't know about bathing until they went on the Crusades. So when they did learned about scientific and philosophical thinking it was like giving a loaded gun to a baby, unlike most cultures that had limits to their questionings, Europeans questioned everything.
They questioned God which lead to Martin Luther petitioning the Church. They questioned Nature which lead to Columbus discovering the world is round not flat.
They questioned the social order which lead to democracy and the abolition of slavery. They ended slavery in the U.S. before it was abolished anywhere else.
But they fucked up when they question the superiority of one race over another. Before people had a "different but equal" opinion of the races, white supremacy changed all that and caused countless deaths and suffering. So even though they did some great things thru their reasoning, racism will be their legacy and thats a shame.
