Also we aren't talking about knowledge here. Obviously someone living in a shanty hut or middle of the desert nigeria, are never going to reach any type of knowledge 'peak' if you will. (Nobody will obviously but those people wont come close)
Location will dictate your "Amount" of knowledge, not your intelligence, that is most definately a genetic thing.

If you really want to get into it, typically racial differences in scores on IQ tests look something like this:
Asians
Jews
Whites
Blacks
But again, intelligence as measured by an IQ test like the Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) is culturally specific. It predicts outcomes that you would normally associate with intelligence (or lack thereof) in Western environments. To say that white Europeans are smarter than black Africans is a misunderstanding of what the psychological construct "Intelligence" is. White europeans may score higher on the WAIS than black Africans, but that does not necessarily translate into white Europeans being more "Intelligent" than black Africans.
All of the information above is independent of the question: "Are racial differences in scores on the WAIS (or another Western IQ tes) due to differences in genes between the races?".
