>I am fucking conscious.
You think you are conscious, but you don't even know what you mean by that.

Yes eg the Ashkenazi Jews have mutations for intelligence but that can have had effects depending on the other genes present eg autism. Einstein (a jew) had a brother who was a retard.

Evolution can shift the mix of genes in a population very quickly. What is slow is genuine new genes, which only occur from mutation which is a relatively slow process.

There has been plenty of time for humans to diverge very significantly since populations have been apart for ~50,000 years.
