Do they also explain why Europeans are superior to every other people on earth? I'm saying this in terms of technological advancement and the fact that no other people on the globe discovered how to make an electric light or send signals through the air which could be broadcast on a television?

Do they explain why no other people on Earth but the Europeans developed such a wide range of philosophy, everything from Neoplatonism to existentialism?

Do they explain why white Europeans conquered the world?

Jared Diamond has things to say about that, to do with how different agricultural regimes in different climates gave a substantial difference in technological innovation.

It is possible that the simple ability to digest milk gave Europeans such a big advantage in nutrition that they got a head start in several cultural areas.

Most anthropologists also don't denigrate the advances made outside Europe before the Renaissance in Arabia and China, and recognise that climate and climate changes had a massive effect on cultural change.

Your electricity and radio inventions were the innovations of a very few people from different countries with specific reasons for different innovations.

For example the combination of a large amount of venture capital available for investment due partly to gold rushes and a patent law and legal system protecting corporate investment gave the United States a huge advantage in turning inventions into cash cows. Edison might have been a talented inventor but he was an equally talented entrepreneur and patent thief.
