I don't think that lower testosterone levels are cultural, nor are small delicate hands, and tiny noses. And these outward measurable qualities seem to be things civilized people have been breeding themselves for. If I was a space alien, I would think of asians as domesticated people, and Africans as the wild type. But I wouldn't say that one type was especially superior to the other.
