My theory - they aren't very big from a stature perspective so physical labor doesn't suit them well, so their cognitive skills developed to compensate.

Wait, or maybe their cognitive skills developed first and their physical stature atrophied as a result of not being utilized.

They value a strong family and education.

That appears to be a formula for success.

Not for everyone of course, but in general it works best.

You are an idiot. Talk to Korean War veterans about how weak Koreans are. I've talked to white American Korean war vets who have told me that pound for pound Koreans are the toughest people on the planet.

What you're saying makes no sense. It wasn't that long ago that most people were hunter-gatherers, and Asia lagged behind the West in the Industrial Revolution.
