TIL that although Jews are only 3% of the US population, they've won 27% of all Nobel prizes in science awarded to Americans.

A)

People who were Kings and Queens or influential people. When the leaders convert, the surfdom follow.

B)

I got that list from Wikipedia since that was an easy source. If you want more historical sources, take Josephus for instance in his book Against Apion. He goes into detail the missionary work of Hellenestic Jews, saying things such as "...many of them (the greeks) have come over to our laws..." etc.

There are more Roman sources such as Casius Dio and Valrerius Maximus who talk about the proselytizing Jews.

The great Roman poet Horace said "and as the Jews compel their proselytes, so we will make you join this wide-spread of ours". (Horace, Satires)

Finally a historical document the Septuagint goes to show that the Jews did want to spread the word as they say. In the ancient Greek, who exactly was this translation for(it wasn't in Hebrew)? Why the need for translation if not to spread the word?

Judaism was a proselytizing religion before Christianity and Islam took over. Remember that Christianity was originally just another branch of Judaism, they just took over the proselytizing traditions of Judaism to the nth degree.

There are numerous historical records of gentiles converting to Judaism:

What it means is that Germany was leading the world in science, education and research.

Due to Nazi policies, German Jews tried to get out any way they can. Most of those Germans who were able to escape to America were German Jews since they didn't support the Nazis.

If all German scientists were to immigrate to America back then, they would be winning Nobel prizes too.

Jews aren't a race.

Following the Roman siege of Jerusalem in 70AD, the Jews were divided into three separate groups: the Ashkenazis, Sephardis and the Mizrachis.

Most Jews are converts to the religion

Ashkenazi are eastern european converts to Judaism.

Sephardi are North African and Iberian converts to Judaism.

Mizrahi are middl-eastern converts to Judaism(or those who didn't convert to Islam or Christianity)
