Why are there so many major innovations and intellectual contributions by Jews?

I don't get it. Why are Jews credited for so many of the world's major intellectual contributions? I'm asking because Jews make up a proportionately small population of people in comparison with other ethnic/cultural groups. Is it luck? Genetics? Hard work?

1. According to NASA, these Jews are really Muslims in disguise.
2. Because we are the chosen people, etc.
3. Good things come from people!!!
4. Education and pride in accomplishment.
5. They're simply industrious. Their faith does not allow a great deal of "down time." When people really get into their work, and are contented with it, they will be inspired and innovative.
6. Realistically, it's genetics. Not a very PC answer, but it's an obvious one. You only need to look at different dog breeds to realize that intelligence is just another genetic trait, which is why the guide dog (seeing eye dog) programs prefer to breed two guide dogs together and use their puppies rather than just taking any random dog into the program.
7. Jewish culture promotes education.
