that is bullshit ;)

asians survived the age of strife, as we have noted in scars, where the white scars almost exclusively get their terran recruits from asiatic hives, the thousand sons recruiting arabs from what we now see as Iran

also you have to keep in mind that over the millennia, the human genome will adapt to the conditions of the worlds they live on. f.,e. tallarn, attila, catachan,barbarus,valhalla

and your scientific fact is pretty bullshit, too ;)

development of culture depends on availability of ressources more than it does on colour of skin.

it also has more to do with density of population.. little example: the more farmers you have, the more stable your food production is, the more people you have that do not neccessarily have to spend their daily lives with obtaining food, can do sth different f.e. mine ressources, be priests, builders and whatnot, this leads to evolment through specialisation.

we could then add the availability of things like iron ore,  firewood anmd whatnot, which depends on the region of ther planet, the local climate and planet history ( with material like coal or oil)  really you wanna get all white supremacy there?

and sorry to interrupt you but the black plague

a:) came from egypt in that year but it affected other regions of the globe as well, outbreaks were rather common for several centuries.

b.) had so many victims because people under horrible sanitary conditions and had no clue about isolation of the infected, let alone proper medicine.

as whatever the old greeks and romans had culturewise, that includes medicine, sanitation, building of cities, canalisations and so on. was lost at the onset of the middle ages and not relearned ( with the catholic church to thank for that)

The Europeans can be glad that Urban IV pope called out the 1st crusade, which brought them into contact with the arabs who had preserved all that knowledge.

just fyi the first all encompassing book of medicine was written by ali ibn hussain ibn sina ( or in europe called avencienna), without them we'd know 0 about plato, sophokles, aristoteles and so on or thjings like mathematics.

next counterpoint: it is very common to simplify worlds in science fiction, compare the earth we now live in, withg it's different climate zones, biospehres and so on to what we find in science fiction, especially the likes of w40k or f.e. the Dune universe, Star Trek, Star wars and so on.

catachan is a whole jungle, same for f.e. cretacia, this does not take into account the different angles of the sun f.e. or rotation of the planet around the sun and the consequences of that.
