In short: (i will post more cites if needed)

the theory is simple:

Since the early man emigrating from Africa.

People went “first” to Europe, then after a long period ended up in the East-Asia.  
The longer people migrated- the greater the challenge- the greater the natural sellection. Ergo: more challenged genes making it ways to East-Asia.

Matching this theory today are the different SAT,IQ test being done (not-controversial)  
where Asian-Anglo/saxian-African place in said order.

Thoughts?

Political correctnes because of correctness is not interesting… Much more interesting dwelling in facts
