The Chinese IQ advantage
----
The North Asians, Han Chinese, Koreans and Japanese
had to endure a very severe ice age pressure and only a FEW and the brightest survived, this genetically screened for higher IQ and since only a few survived, they were also much more homogenous
What this means is that average chinese IQ is high, but the bell curve is narrow
In contrast, most races have a wide and flat bell curve and the upper reaches of the bell curve go much higher
In addition, the mandarin exams were open to all classes unlike India were only the dwijas got to know sanskrit
While definitively the average chinese IQ is higher, the real Indian average is better than 81, and on the high end, Indians have advantages
Hindu religion and philosophy and caste system has created several Hi-IQ pockets > 120
