Why are Ashkenazis smarter than Sfardis? This article attempts to attribute it to antisemitism. The more likely explanation is that it is the effect of the european climate and environment. Is it a coincedence that Europeans have a higher IQ than middle eastern people, and the jews of those regions reflect the other resident of those places?

A question linked to this one is, Why do Ashkenazis have lighter skin than Sefardis, and why do Europeans have lighter skin than middle eastern people. Some would say that it is a product of natural selection.However NS wouldent explain the skin color changes that happen in reletively few generations.. Ashkenazi jews and other groups who live in europe for less than 1000 years have a clearly different skin color than sfardic jews. How does this happen. It seems that genes have a way of adapting to an environment, and they are also affected by it too.
