Is it genetic? Look at the British, French, Spanish/Portuguese, Germans, Italians, etc... and then look at Estonians and Latvians and Belorussians. Same race yet totally different levels of innovative output. Why? Look at Europeans as a whole and compare their collective creative output to that of Sub-Saharan Africans. There's no comparison. Why?
These countries have very different geopolitical situations. It's very boring and unintellectual to write down it to "these has always been backwards and will be".

For example, Lithuania has achieved this:
Do you know what equipment scientists working in Lithuanian laser laboratories jokingly call cepelinai – the name of a national Lithuanian dish? They are parametric light generators and amplifies manufactured by the Companies Å*viesos konversija and Ekspla, which account for about 80 per cent of the world market of these products. At some largest world research centres parametric light generators are used to study ultra-fast processes taking place in substances. The laser technology company Ekspla in Lithuania, which has inde-pendently created and manufactured laser systems and related equipment for 18 years already, occupies more than half the world market of scientific picoecond lasers and is the only one in the world to manufacture SFG (sensitive to submonolayer of molecules) spectrometers intended for studying surfaces of materials. The Company exports more than 90 per cent of its production to 40 count-ries. Well-known names of its customers Hitachi and Mitsubishi research centres, IBM, NASA, the USA navy and military air force centres show that the largest Lithuanian laser technology companies have been recognized among its customers. Last year the Company established its representation in China. http://www.madeinlithuania.lt/Techno...l_in_the_world
