The article doesn't mention the originating cause: Wealthy people married healthy people.

  This assumes a lot First it suggests wealth = iq… maybe thats what you mean? Not sure what you mean but my following points are related to this Second it also means produced viable offspring with healthy people, which really means wealthy people *nutted in healthy people. There is an extremely high correlation to wealth and which sex is choosing based on “health” (as opposed to equal or greater wealth) Third, they probably nutted in unhealthy people too. Just might as well acknowledge the human flexibility in reproductive activity. Fourth, it suggests the healthy person needed the wealth to maintain the healthy lifestyle or spread it to the wealthy person or subsequent offspring, here I have the most doubts But if I misunderstood what you were getting at, let me know. Married may be less crass but its probably inaccurate

    To generalize, I am saying all positive traits are correlated genetically even when the cause isn't the same genetic factor. Attractive people tend to marry other attractive people. Being wealthy is a proxy for intelligence that rhymes with the word healthy.

    A poor healthy person in a polluted area will need money to move out or they will steadily lose their health. Wealth lets you choose where to live, and avoid unhealthy places
