Interesting. I would speculate the high average IQ is a more significant factor.

Any source for "high average IQ"?

It's a reference to the notion that Ashkenazi Jews have an average IQ of something like 105, so have more 140+ IQs, and as such they are disproportionately represented in Nobel Prize winnings in the 20thC. Etc etc. I won't source for them (theres a Wiki article) since I think most of the variance can be accounted for by culture.

It's a culture that deeply values education, trust, and team-work within families, community, and country, all of which contribute to collective success in military, civilian, and business endeavors.
