Population genetics. East Asian immigrants on average have very high spatial IQ's. Just as urban population of Ashkenazi's have very high verbal IQ's.

BTW this isn't fringe science. Educators spent a century using IQ scores, and IQ score equivalents(SATs) to monitor how different groups of people perform on these tests.
On the other end recent neuroscience has shown that a massive part of an IQ score is heritable.
The thing is you can't go by group averages. It is as ignorant as saying all red fruits are apples and all orange fruits are oranges.
