Uh, no.
May I recommend "Guns, Germs, and Steel" to you.
That book effectively destroys any idea that studiousness, or intelligence, at the group level (like your example of "Asians", whatever the hell "Asians" means), has anything to do with genetics.

- mynameishere 18y agohas anything to do with genetics Well, I would never say genetics is 100 percent responsible for any products of the mind. You seem to think that genetics is zero percent responsible. This is an untenable position, and not one Jared Diamond would hold either, at least not when he was researching the importance of testicle sizes of different races [1]. (You have to actually read it to get a laugh. Anyone have a nature login?) I am so tired of Jared Diamond. It seems like there's always some sheister, Stephen Jay Gould, or Diamond, or somebody who propagandizes effectively enough to come up every time a subject is raised.
