This belief is inaccurate because man's natural competitiveness has nothing to do with greed; it is due to Darwin's ancient law of “survival of the fittest”. This law postulates that those eliminated in the struggle for survival are the disabled. The drive for humans to be better than those around them dates back to the dawn of humanity. The man who was best able to provide for his family was the one who ended up with the desired mate. Women were naturally attracted to men who could best ensure the survival of their children. The more skilled the man was, the more shelter he could provide and the more food he could bring home to feed his family. This is what allowed his genes to be passed down from generation to generation. In today's world, men still have a natural desire to be more accomplished than those around them. Men know that the more money they earn, the more likely their family is to survive and maintain their social rank. For this reason women are naturally attracted to richer men. It is basic human instinct (not greed) that drives humans to be more superior to those around them
