Abstract: The article “Those Who Can Do: Wealth, Status, and Reproductive Success on Ifaluk” examines the relationship between wealth, social status, and reproductive success on the island of Ifaluk. It discusses how cultural practices on Ifaluk are interwoven with evolutionary history, arguing that human behavior might not always be adaptive due to the potential decoupling of culture from natural selection. The authors note that cultural evolution may have been shaped by factors other than genetic selection, such as ideas.
