 ><p style="text-align: justify;">Why does inequality vary across societies?
  Why are some societies more unequal than others? We advance the hypothesis
  that in a market economy, where income differentials reflect variations in
  productive traits, a significant share of cross-societal differences in in
 equality may reflect enduring variation in the degree of diversity within s
 ocieties, rooted in the prehistoric Out-of-Africa migration. Patterns of in
 equality within the U.S. population are consistent with this hypothesis, su
 ggesting that disparities among groups originating from different ancestral
  societies are associated with the degree of diversity in productive traits
  within those societies, shaped during humanity’s dispersal from Africa. Co
 nsistent with the proposed mechanism, populations whose ancestors originate
 d closer to East Africa tend to exhibit greater dispersion in productive tr
 aits—education, ability, and labor supply—channels that appear to mediate t
 he relationship between ancestral diversity and inequality.</p>
