摘要：Charles Darwin during his travels on the Beagle noted the wretched primitive state of natives from Tierra del Fuego. He attributed it to their being egalitarians and to the absence of a leader among them. The Gini Economic Index suggests strong inequality today even among the richest, more developed countries. This paper discusses whether equality and civilization are really incompatible, as Darwin seemed to imply.
