ken,
just an example of how poorly you seem to grasp the information that you are trying to process - the very enthic groups that you are talking about, pacific islanders and native americans, very often have a strong genetic inclination towards obesity. this is theorized as due to surviving so many generations on such limited diets and in such difficult circomstances. people whose ansestors were fat aren't that likely to be fat or obese - people whose ansestors had trouble making it through the winter (or the dry season) and needed to have very economical metabolisms have a genetic tendency to be obese.
you could make the same genetic argument - since genetic tendency towards obesity is closely correlated with genetic groups that developed in exceptionally harsh enviroments, and since these same people needed to have powerful, flexible minds to survive, they are genetically more inclined to be intellegent.
that is just an example of the poor logic of your thinking here.
