The only real differences you'll find are in skin pigmentation and bone structure, as well as different genetic traits and slight changes in average organ sizes (such as the lungs), but never intelligence.

Think about it. If every group of humanity is surviving on their own, and survival of the fittest is in effect, why would one group become less intelligent than the others? Losing intelligence is a sure-fire way to get killed off before your genes can have a chance to spread. Makes no evolutionary sense, and every valid study into the subject has determined that no race is inherently "smarter" than the others. Now stop all of this racist drivel and let it be.

Check out "The Race Myth: Why We Pretend Race Exists in America" by Joseph Graves. It might answer some questions for you.
Race is not a myth. I correctly identify and distinguish between people of African and European ancestry everyday. If one group of people spent 100,000 years evolving in Norway and another in Angola different sorts of problem solving skills may have offered an evolutionary advantage. Evolution is notorious for being slow but when humans tinker with it, like with dogs and marijuana, we find it can happen quite quickly.
