I mean, one race being physically larger than the other is surely a result of that race living in a more physically demanding place? So therefore if one race or ethnicity (which is isolated from most of the world) is to live in a more intellectually challenging place, is it not possible for natural eugenics to take place?

I don't believe african americans are physically superior, there are just a lot of social issues pushing them into sport instead of neurosurgery, additionally the brain hasn't evolved much in 2million years and a homosapien from that time would be about as bright as someone today. secondly for evolution to occur there must be environmental pressure given that ALL races lived in pretty much the same conditions until about 2000 years ago there is no evolutionary need to be "smarter" or any driving force unequal between cultures. 2000 years is not long enough for any noticeable difference in evolution, also intelligence in a macro evolutionary sense hasn't a lot to do with survival in recently modern civilisation.
