This is something which always gets me.

So it is widely accepted that there is no/negligible genetic difference, but there are cultural differences at least when it comes to prosperity.

However it is also the case that cultures are extremely slow to change - multiple generations - almost to the actual speed of evolution. Essentially conceding the point that even if it isn't genetic there is some kind of heritable negative/missing positive traits which can last multiple generations.

No, humans have not evolved in hundreds of thousands of years, well beyond the beginning of recorded history.

That's preposterous and obviously false. We're seeing fast evolution on the scale of thousands or even hundreds of years. See Baujau, for example.
