I mean, which other "white" ethnic grouping consistently contribute to humanity's academic heritage?

There are giants that are non-Jews obviously like John Locke, Newton, and Darwin but when you break down intellectual achievement by ethnicity, Jews disproportionately REPRESENT.


I believe it has something to do with a "culture of achivement" borne by years of discrimination. Hence you have "middleman" culture that prides skills that focus not so much on fixed or land-based occupations but highly "transportable" occupations--doctors, lawyers, merchants, etc.

Of course, this is a generalization but the proportion was high enough to color/shape the general ethnic mentality and ability to achieve.
