I pose a question on this sensitive topic. There is a quite a difference in the levels of ability and intelligence in Mother Nature's animals....is it really unreasonable to think that this is true among human varieties as well? I know equality is nice and all, but from a biological standpoint is it, is it realistic? I know a read a study in a science mag last year that concluded that Ashkenazi Jews had the highest levels of intelligence. Would someone not have to come in last then?
fyi, I write this knowing I'm firmly entrenched in the squishy middle of the intelligence ball...so not trying to imply anything here.

And who wrote this study, Ashkanazi Jews?
All I'm saying is that a test made up by say a city dweller wouldn't have a good result for someone raised as a hunter in the Arctic and visa versa.
