Are North Koreans more evolved than Europeans?
Http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmc3539816
Abcc11 originated in North Korea (Northern Mongoloids) about 40,000 years ago. Humans who have abcc11 do not have body odor. Ergo, North Koreans are genetically superior to stinky Europeans.
Yes.

The report posted states the following.... Sweat produced by the axillary apocrine glands is odorless. Secretions from the apocrine glands, however, can be converted to odoriferous compounds by bacteria (Corynebacteria), which results in the formation of the unique “human axillary odor”. Axillary osmidrosis patients (538G/G homozygote or G/A heterozygote) were observed to have significantly more numerous and larger-sized axillary apocrine glands as compared with those in subjects carrying the A/A homozygote. It also says ABCC11 WT (Gly180) would be responsible for the secretion of preodoriferous compounds from the axillary apocrine gland. ABCC11 did not originate in North Korea (Northern Mongoloids). Everyone has the ABCC11 gene and according to the report posted, wet/dry types of earwax are determined by the SNP c.538G > A in the ABCC11 gene; G/A and G/G genotypes give the wet-type and A/A the dry-type. There is a hypothesis that a c.538G (wet-type) → c.538A (dry-type) mutation may have occurred some 40,000 years ago in a tribe of the ancient Northern Mongoloids. Presence of the ABCC11 gene does not indicate genetic superiority and neither does the c.538G (wet-type) → c.538A (dry-type) mutation. Side: Wait..., what? No!!!
