    It’s interesting how you compare Asians and Africans with the ‘average’ or ‘norm.’ What norm are you basing this on? You could just as easily ask why white people generally have higher-than-average voices, or have lower-than-average muscle-to-fat ratios. I don’t know why white people have higher-pitched voices than black people, on average. The size and breadth of the larnyx is probably influenced by features of respiration that were probably shaped by climate as people migrated from Africa. The reason may also be partly cultural. High-pitched voices, even in women, are often seen as effeminate or ‘whiny’ by many African Americans.
