they are evolutionally adapted to do well in a harsh environment, being big and strong or small and agile or lean and fast are good survival strategies, they evolved in a region with a comfortable climate year round(compered to Europe) and due to the diversity of environment there is over 600 ethnicities in Africa with some of them being quite distinct, the pygmies of the amazon are a small and agile group because that is a benefit in their environment, the hadza are tall and lean as they live on a plain and hunt on foot(or at least they used to) and when we have an area where there is lots of human vs human fighting we find the men get bigger and stronger
evolution does not care if you are able to make a plane or an iphone, evolution cares about keeping you alive long enough to reproduce, white people where selected to be intelligent, resourceful, and forward thinking due to the harsh weather, because if we where not we died, slowly the selection pressure grows, we get smarter, we can make use of more land, expand, and repeat, we also got white skin and blue eyes to deal with the low levels of light, one thing to consider is that when we where splitting from where ever we started(the jury is out and we will never really know) we may very well have been living in areas of extreme latitude making the adaption even more important and useful than it is today
Whites evolved in central Asia, and we share some traits with other northern Asiatic races, a few with southern Asiatic ones. The blue and blonde genes are most likely a product of sexual selection, as these traits are recessive (you have to actively put two blonde and blue-eyed people together to be likely to produce similar offspring). Furthermore, in order for these traits to become widespread, some form of caste system must have been in place to prevent diluting the gene pool. Whites, wherever they went, had caste systems in place (India, Scythians, Germanic people, who where slave owner societies).
human history (homo sapiens) dates back over 300,000 years, that early history is lost and anyone claiming otherwise is a charlatan
my theory is that white people where an adaption to live at more extreme latitudes during a glacial minimum, we would not have had to compete because we where the only ones who where healthy in that environment, eventually the climate started to slowly change and natural selection then favoured those who where resourceful and had a greater ability to anticipate and plan for the future
