Assuming that you're talking about the technological advancement of indigenous peoples, why do you think that either statements are true?

Let's first look at a rough timeline of human colonisation of the world. Homo Sapiens Sapiens originated in Ethiopia around 200k years ago. They then moved into the Arabian Peninsula just over 100k years ago, and then in chronological order of settlement, we have India (~70kya), SE Asia (~65kya), Australia (~50kya), Europe (~45kya), China (~40kya), North America (~20kya), South America (~15kya), Greenland (~4kya), Western Polynesia (~3kya), Madagascar (~1500ya), New Zealand (~800ya) and then you have smaller, more remote islands settled more recently. There were several points in time in which the Middle East had the most technologically advanced societies in the world, as did China, and on the flipside, Madagascar has never exactly been particularly technologically advanced. A better example, in fact, is the Chatham Islands, which was settled by Maori from New Zealand around the 1500s, and whose inhabitants actually reverted back to a hunter-gatherer existence. So I wouldn't say that being technologically advanced has much to do with when a particular place was first colonised.

Also I suggest you think very carefully about what you mean by a society being 'technologically advanced'.
