This enormous variance between European and East asian scientific accomplishments is explained not by IQ, but by interracial personality differences, underpinned by differences in gene distribution.
In particular, the variance in scientific achievement is explained by differences in inquisitiveness (DRD4 7-repeat), psychological stability (5HTTLPR long form), and individualism (mu-opioid receptor gene; OPRM1 G allele). Northeast Asians tend to be lower in these psychological traits, which we argue are necessary for exceptional scientific accomplishments.
Since these traits comprise a positive matrix, we constructed a
q index (measuring curiosity) from these gene frequencies among world populations. It is found that both IQ scores and
q index contribute significantly to the number of per capita Nobel Prizes.
