Just because there are obvious cultural differences that effect intelligence and temperament does not mean there are not biological differences as well. Liberals just want to assume everyone is born equal, but evolution suggests that that is not the case.

As an example, imagine an isolated population that for several thousand years has highly valued education and learning. The individuals who will be the most esteemed in this society and therefore the most likely to have children and pass on their genetic traits will be the most intelligent members. Over time, this skews the average member of this society towards higher intelligence. Notice that this change is driven by culture, but also has a lasting genetic effect independent of culture. And such a group does in fact exist - the Jews. And no surprise, Jews are by many standardized measures such as iq among the most intelligent populations on earth with a disproportionate number of Nobel prize winners etc. part of this is culture, but genetics are just as important.
