As far as race..all of us belong to the human race with a variety of ethnic backgrounds. Ultimately, we all descended from Africa.
Dappled made very valid points with respect to the subjective nature of "intelligence" and testing procedures, and the same would apply to athleticism, represented by certain ethnic groups dominating some sports but not others; compare professional hockey to basketball to soccer to baseball.. Evolution created small, but significant diferences, though none absolute, to each group, dictated by their respective environment.
I'd like to see Keyboardsolo's sources, and while Valkeer validated North African contributions, at varying historical times, practically every culture can boast something which brought us to modern post-industrial society. We can't ignore the ship building capabilities of the Norse and Pacific Islanders, and the list of technology contributed by the Far East spans millenia. Pyramids were also built in China as well as South America..but..point well made as far as it relates to pre-Classical era.
Are there superior or inferior races or cultures?
