This sounds more like societal expectations than a genetic thing tbh, but if you have studies to prove it I'd be more than willing to learn more about it
Ancient Romans/Greeks were engineers, philosophers and mathematicians
Despite mass superiority they were not practical which is why the roman empire ultimately collapsed
Despite this, rome maintained power over all of Europe through the pope/roman catholic
They hoarded all knowledge and were few educated people (within the church)
Franks, Saxons and Danes came down into Europe mixing in to england and france notably normandy
This genetic combination stirred on low for a while and then Mediterranean creativity
came back in the form of the renaissance (began in Italy)
Once that was left to cool amid loads of north/south interbreeding genetic superiority was ready to be served
that came in the form of the industrial revolution (originated in england)
Now Ancient Rome mogged the shit out of everyone
1800s renaissance naval/firepower also mogged outrageously
But the industrial revolution is where Europe basically left the rest of the world completely behind
If not for world wars 1&2 the rest of the world would have never acquired european tech
and they would all still be living in huts (china, india, middle east, literally everywhere not white)
but the super powers had to leverage their poor ass backwards colonies for bodies
they trained them, gave them weapons, conferred technology and ultimately seeded their independence
then it gets even more interesting because white power transferred from Europe to Moscow and America
they then entered into the digital age with microprocessors and internet (began in USA)
once more the white empire completely left the rest of the world in the dust
and again, they would never have caught up but then something strange happened
THE GREAT CUCKENING
At this point, with basically alien-level tech by comparison to the rest of the world
I'm guessing whites just felt so superior that they became morally compromised
The the hippies, jews and niggers created an onslaught of white gibs that modernized the whole world
