AI Article Synopsis

  • Human fitness is significantly influenced by the transfer of wealth to future generations.
  • People from low socioeconomic backgrounds often struggle to build and pass on wealth, which can shape their behavior in both positive and negative ways.
  • Addressing these financial limitations could help reduce the negative effects of poverty and improve overall well-being.

Article Abstract

Human fitness dynamics are uniquely and profoundly governed by the flow of capital to subsequent generations. Low socioeconomic status individuals may possess limited capacity to direct capital to descendants and may respond to such constraints adaptively or maladaptively. Mitigation of capital constraints may provide practicable routes to alleviation of the behavioural constellation of deprivation.
