You bring up some interesting points. Japan is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, even though it is poor in natural resources. They are masters of high technology of all sorts and generous donors to worldwide charities, while the Japanese in America do better than the average American in terms of income and educational attainment. On the other hand, blacks in America have a rough time of it, while the countries in Sub-Sahara Africa have a hard time feeding themselves even though they have been the recipients of billions of dollars in aid over the past fifty years and have tremendous natural resources.

I wonder if there is some sort of connection that could be inferred?

Yes there is, however I would think the linkage is more culturally based than genetic if that's where you were going.
