在人类进化史上，上肢力量一直是战斗能力的主要组成部分。动物冲突的进化模型预测，具有更强战斗能力的参与者会比不太强大的竞争者更积极地试图获得或捍卫资源。在这里，我们将这些模型应用于现代人类收入和财富再分配的政治决策。在阿根廷、丹麦和美国进行的研究中，上肢力量更大的男性更强烈地支持自我利益的立场：在社会经济地位较低的男性中，力量预示着对再分配的支持增加;在社会经济地位较高的男性中，力量预示着对再分配的反对增加。因为在现代大众民主国家中，个人上肢力量与经济政策的收益无关，力量的持续作用表明，现代政治决策是由为小规模群体设计的进化心理塑造的。
Over human evolutionary history, upper-body strength has been a major component of fighting ability. Evolutionary models of animal conflict predict that actors with greater fighting ability will more actively attempt to acquire or defend resources than less formidable contestants will. Here, we applied these models to political decision making about redistribution of income and wealth among modern humans. In studies conducted in Argentina, Denmark, and the United States, men with greater upper-body strength more strongly endorsed the self-beneficial position: Among men of lower socioeconomic status (SES), strength predicted increased support for redistribution; among men of higher SES, strength predicted increased opposition to redistribution. Because personal upper-body strength is irrelevant to payoffs from economic policies in modern mass democracies, the continuing role of strength suggests that modern political decision making is shaped by an evolved psychology designed for small-scale groups.
