This scientist is probably African-American, and not living in Africa.
African-Americans have higher IQ's than Blacks living in Africa, because they have 12 - 15% white admixture.
IQ (Lynn, 2006a, p 37) -
Black African: 67-70
African-American: 85
White: 100
Half of all Whites have an IQ over the white average, but only 16% of African Americans do (i.e., 5 out of 6 Blacks have an IQ below the white average) and only 1.3% of Africans would be expected to have an IQ above the white average.
^ The black guy you posted is just that 1.3%...
Only 1% of the black (African American) population has an IQ over 120, but 9% of the white population does.
About 2.3% of whites have an IQ of at least 130 (gifted), 20 times greater than the percentage of blacks who do; only 0.00044% of Black Africans would be expected to have an IQ over 130.
