No, it is not that simple. History shows us that it is actually quite complicated, and the reasons why one group may be ascendant over another can boil down to simple luck or geography.
Can you give any examples from the real world?
Random unsupported predictions are not an argument. At best, they are a reflection of the hopes of the person saying them, but in debate, they are worthless.

That doesn't mean they aren't still superior.
Anyway, regarding the thesis of this thread.
I reject egalitarianism entirely and hold that the true hierarchies of humanity are accurately discovered in a state of Anarchy.
An artificial equality is no equality at all. In fact, the very existence of a state-enforced equality is evidence that the natural-equality is in fact not there. Furthermore, the same goes for state enforced hierarchies, the fact that they need to be enforced to survive demonstrates that those in upper ranks of those hierarchies don't deserve to be there.
It is simple as that.

The fact that certain demographics, without a state, will produce and succeed in variance to other groups and along demographic lines is all the proof I need to know that egalitarianism is nonsense as an anthropology.

Now, as a Christian, I believe in the inherent equality of all men before God, in the sense that all are equally sinful and under judgement and all were made, equally, in the Image of God. However, this inherent human dignity and depravity says nothing about the equality of outcomes given human performance in a state of nature; especially, given whatever endowments they were or were not given along demographic and even individual lines.
Lets all be honest.
If all states ceased to exist, once the smoked cleared, feminism and almost every other insane identity movement of the last 100 years would be seen nowhere on this earth.
This is the simple reality of the situation.
