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?

I'd go with the race that 'started it all'...

The Mesopotamian people (from the Fertile Crescent, present day Iraq) - such as the Sumerians, who invented writing.

I'm guessing that they were Caucasian.

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.
