Jesse Owens won the Olympic race and also won the battle of the human race against the so-called master race in disproving Hitler and Goebbels' ideological racial propaganda theories against non-aryan peoples as being "unfit"
As who was most "fit" to win the Olympic race...Jesse Owens
Right. Because all technological advances brought to this world and models of higher civilization can be discredited because some guy of one race won a sprint.
Success can be a tribe living in a jungle for generations being in harmony with nature. People may say technology has improved the world but no one can explain why does man have weapons of mass destruction. Where else is man going to go if they destroy the Earth?

He won the "battle of the human race" because he won a sprint! LMAO!
If I considered something like cultural staying power as the measure of success, I would nominate that group of people we call the "ancient Egyptians" (up until the death of the last Ptolemy), or those peoples who created the civilization of China (the Han, Mongols, Manchus, etc.)
I'd say babylonians may have had more influence than the egyptians.
I think the hebrews got most of their culture from the babylonians and we can agree that the hebrews and jews have had a lot of influence on world history. So babylonians, indirectly.
The race which catapulted the world forward in technology and systems were without doubt the British.
