An excerpt and a text book,which focuses on why in particular, elites tend to chose their mating pattern which evokes neoteny.
Neoteny
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoteny
Neoteny (/niːˈɒtɪni/ /niːˈɒtni/[1][2][3] or /niːˈɒtəni/,[4] (also called juvenilization)[5] is the delaying or slowing of the physiological (or somatic) development of an organism, typically an animal
The article
www.neoteny.org/2009/06/02/neoteny-and-the-elites/
This website often focuses on the power of the concept of neoteny to inform our understanding of human evolution, specific diseases, conditions such as autism, and the unfolding of contemporary trends in societal transformation. A case could also be made that our hormonal compulsion to select mates that display the features of a child could be influencing societal behaviors such as racism and which countries a nation chooses to ally with.
Consider that high-fat diets went first to the aristocracies, upper classes and elites. These upper echelons then proceeded to behave like people whose endocrine systems had been modified to focus on neotenous features, the features of children. It is the hypothesis of this work that males and females with high estrogen will pick mates exhibiting childlike features. So, not only do fat-influenced bodies and behaviors give birth to progeny with bodies and behaviors reflecting what their parents ate, but people with the desired bodies and behaviors are selected as mates to enter the elite procreation pool that manifests childlike features.
In very few generations the elites of a society can likely manifest a number of neotenous features, informed fundamentally by diet and mate-selection criteria.
Racism and classism has been buttressed by a belief by the elites that nuanced understandings are only to be achieved by those with education, wealth and the height afforded by higher stations. There may be some truth in the suggestion that the wealthy, as a population, are more discriminating. High estrogen hypothetically hypothetically confers a compulsion to judge, evaluate and compare. It may be no mistake that the lower classes and ethnic minorities feel judged by those with more.
Influenced by diet, the upper classes may not know how not to judge.
