Alex, your "idea that money has subsumed the evolutionary authority previously held by being strong, healthy and smart" needs a little work.

Lets step back and not look at all the toys and luxuries having money brings.. lets just look at time, survival and reproduction of genetic material into the future. That is what evolution is really all about... which DNA proliferates, projecting oneself biologically not culturally or by money.

Have wealthy genes done any better than poorer genes at perpetuating themselves? No, indeed many wealthy families become dynastic dinosaurs. They inbreed, or breed so few that their DNA dead ends.

Wealth typically creates a slowdown in population growth, with fewer offspring to fend for themselves in a world of overpopulating poor.

The score is not in on the effects of technology on population groups, but its clear that while some are typing on the internet living in spacious homes driving 4 wheel attack vehicles, others are having babies and those babies will inherit the earth.
