Dude, we evolved on different continents for 50,000 years. We look different. Our bodies' biochemistry differs (different medications for whites + blacks for blood pressure). Why do you think brains came out the same? They didn't, and all the hard data, and all the evidence of everyone's eyes - how black vs white, or other populations, live, shows that. It's ugly, it's not nice, people don't know what to do about it, it's a can of worms, but it's true.

I'd encourage you to read reputable research on this more. Especially ones on intelligence between races if that's where your mind is going. At one point I thought I also had some "facts" about this that were founded in science, but after more careful reading recently in my life I realized the "science" I had vaguely remembered around this was actually racist, unscientific garbage.
Dunno - most science studies seem to suggest culture rather than genetics.
One interesting data point for example - African Americans in general earn less that whites but Nigerian Americans earn more. Probably because they have selected the highly educated ones rather than genetics.
