	Differences among people (and among peoples) in talents, strength, and other capacities are seemingly minor by comparison with the often-observed vast and historically persistent between-group and individual differences in economic fortunes, reproductive success, status, rights, and power. The same may be said of many non-human primates and other animals. ''What processes translate seemingly small differences in individual capacities into social hierarchies characterized by large and persistent differences in access to valued resources and power over others? And, what accounts for the dramatic differences in the degree of social hierarchy and economic inequality that have been observed across time and space?''

	Correspondingly, are there common processes underlying movement toward more equal outcomes such as the dramatic reduction in the income shares of the very rich during of the 20th century in countries as diverse as the U.S., Japan India, Germany, France, and the UK . Are the causes underlying these trends also at work in the mid- to late-20th century land reforms in Taiwan, Korea, and West Bengal? Do these episodes have anything in common with the processes that have on occasion reined in the political, juridical, social, and sexual privileges associated with wealth? Examples include the emergence of jury trial in some European judicial systems, rights to privacy and civil liberties, the accountability of political leaders to inclusive electorates, and what has been called "the great social achievement of the early Middle Ages” in Europe, namely “the imposition of the same rules of sexual and domestic conduct on both rich and poor."
