I'm not saying we SHOULD do this, but I decided to analyze whether this is possible.
I know there are real biologists on here who can do a better analysis but this is my rudimentary attempt.
About 5,800 years ago a new allele of the ASPM gene started spreading through Europe up from the Near East. It's thought to contribute to brain size. Now say the population was about 7 million people and it's now in an overwhelming majority of Europeans. This would mean that the gene is about 10% beneficial if it spread naturally.
This is hugely beneficial.
If this is the case, unfortunately even if 1 million white boys were to impregnate 10 African women, it would still take 1,240 years to spread to 95% of the population.
This has grim implications for America too, because even if you impregnate 10% of the population of Africans there, it will take 650 years to spread the gene to 95% of the population. If you assume that 13% of the population does not have the gene, you still have another 250 years to go.
