Jews the greatest ethnic group in terms of accomplishments for mankind???
Karl Marx
Albert Einstein
Sigmund Freud
Yeshua Ha Nosri (Jesus, one of the most influential people ever)
Woody Allen
Neils Bohr
Steven Spielberg
Stanley Kubrick
Mark Zuckerberg
Bob Dylan
Considering our small population size, is it safe to say that Jews have contributed more to the benefit of humanity than any other group of people?

i wouldn't say "benefit" so much as "advancement."
2% of the population producing such a huge proportion of the world's most brilliant people has to have a very interesting story behind it. maybe something along the lines of being persecuted for so long pushes a people to overcompensate...

Three greatest film directors of all time? I don't think so. Maybe in terms of commercial success. As for Zuckerberg, he sorta cheated the Winklevoss twins and even so it's not like he invented social networks.

Anyways, Jews certainly stand out accomplishment wise for their population, but let's not act like they can touch white anglo saxon protestants.

I think this has to do with historic circumstance. Jews were persecuted in the European countries they resided in (many eastern European countries). Since they were not allowed to own land there was really no rural Jews, they all lived in heavy urban centers and had to make a living with business and banking. Being successful entrepreneurs they were able to send their kids to the best schools available.
