So resource acquisition has no biological basis? Starting with territoriality is probably the most productive avenue. Genes will certainly be discovered for that.

1, "resource acquisition" in the modern era has nothing to do with nature or genetic superiority. Bill Gates isn't a faster runner than average 2, given wars and birth rates, why believe "territoriality" has been a net positive in gene transmission over the last several 100 yrs

Yeah, you're kinda right. Future Bill Gateses are gonna have to learn to run fast.

hominids in a state of nature do not have billion times the resources of other hominids from the same species due to superior "resource acquisition" capability. additionally, humans in a state of nature and throughout most of our history also did not have these vast differences

Bit of sampling bias here. Having any resources at all is infinitely more than you and your boys getting wiped off the face of the earth.
