    Please don't tell me that straight biological factors (such as brain size and will to jump into bed with a family member) doesn't have an impact. Don't tell me cultural factors don't have an impact.
    You mean like Iceland or ourselves before urbanization of our populations? Norse regions were especially prone due to this due to their sparse landscapes of resources, yet, we heard stories about those mead-swilling uneducated pagans which ambushed our shores. With their statistically higher crime-rates and ill-culture and now Norse society is deemed one of the pinnacles of human progress.

    The thing is, you seem to fail to see how history is constantly playing out, over and over. Comparing some some random backwater which doesn't even have much access to water which doesn't have as many university degrees as a upper-class suburb is not taking note of reality. If the genetics of 'race' played such a significant difference, then I shouldn't be able to go to work and see doctors of colour who out-educate the both of us together many times over, they should be severely stunted to such levels according to your beliefs yet they are not. There is a great many reasons which come into play on a socio-economic level and you cannot really account for them at all due to the difficulty in able to manage it. Culture comes under socioeconomic factors, culture is not inherent in a persons being, there are different cultures in a city-by-city basis too, nevermind intra-city populations.
