Race and intelligence

Kind of a taboo topic, but do you think that race has any sort of reflection on how intelligent a person is? I'm not talking about this on an individual basis, but the race as a whole.

I'm curious to this, because after all, different races obviously evolved differently and at different speeds, after we were separated by continents. This would explain different cultures. Lots of the people of asian descent look more neotenized, and less neanderthal which would suggest that, from a physical standpoint at least, they've evolved more than others. True or not?

Your thoughts?
