I can't believe you guys. This has been studied a lot over the years. There are many studies that show the differences in 'races' (and Woot is right, it is a pretty much menaingless term genetically speaking) is negligible if it exists at all. There was a book that talked about this (although somewhat indirectly) a few years ago (look up The Bell Curve) that was thoroughly debunked. In fact, Jared Diamond's excellent book Guns, Germs and Steel is, in part, a response to the Bell Curve.

I am quite frankly disappointed that Watson's crackpot musings would be givien any credence here at all. He is senile and this is not the first time in recent years that he has said outrageous things.
