201 Nobel prizes, or about 22% of the total have gone to Jews. Jews are less than .2% of world population. I bet if you eliminated 'junk' prizes (such as Arafat, Gore, Obama's Nobel peace prizes) the numbers would be even more skewed.
If there is an argument for racial superiority, it would have to be for the Jewish people.
When it comes to the arts and science they as a community punch way above their weight.
You are arguing that Europe was a sh------ for most of himanity.
Okay, fine. Then why, now, since The West is doing good, should it have to take on the burdens of the World's troubles?
How is the "West" being burdened by the world's troubles? The quality of life in Western Europe is the greatest it has ever been.

How is the "Wests" culture being destroyed? And how does its decay relate to outside cultures? Sorry these dots do not connect.

European culture has had many high water marks. Reaching their zenith at the end of the 19th century. My responses aimed at the posters who attribute Europe's success to its genetics. Europe's rise to the top was the result of many different factors. Genetic's isn't one of them.

I've lived it. So I can give you perfect example. East st. Paul (effectively Eastern minneapolis) has increasingly gone downhill with respect to crime (among other things) with the increase in diversity. It has not even for a second benefitted my community as it has become more "diverse".

And how do you know? Are you God? Even in the best possible interpretation of the scientific evidence for your direction, science has not established one way or the other genetics has played a role (though there is evidence genetics has played a role).

I don't even believe you believe what you wrote.
As it has been pointed out again and again. If it was genetics that caused Europe to ascend, then Europeans would have done it thousands of years ago. But they didn't. Why were the smartest people on earth ( as you claim) living in dung heaps when less intelligent brown people were building world empires and constructing great feats of engineering? Shouldn't have been the other way around if it was genetics?

This is not at all logical. Why wasn't Albert Einstein coming up with General Relativity at 2 years old? He had the same genetics?

Because that's not how it was. You are creating revisionist history. It's all buried in time so you and those like just make up what every story you want or at least cherry pick facts or details. Europe hasn't been behind the rest of the world.

How is it illogical? Why did it take so long for Europeans to develop civilization if they are so genetically intelligent? Why wasn't the Rhine or the Loire river valley the spot where the origin of civilization begun? Why was it Mesopotamia, China and Egypt instead? Shouldn't the smartest people on earth have been the ones who created civilization or at the very least developed much earlier then they did? Maybe Europeans aren't more genetically intelligent then all of the those non-Europeans out there.

If Europe wasn't behind everyone else for most of civilized history then there should be plenty of examples proving otherwise. Where are they?
These were built in 2500 BC by brown North Africans
Meanwhile this is what the genetically more intelligent race was building during the same time period
In 700 BC Mesopotamia looked like this
While Europe looked like this
If Europeans are truly more intelligent genetically, what took them so long?
