One interesting hypothesis is raised by Gregory Clark in his book "A Farewell to Alms". Some humans appear to have undergone genetic selective pressure (evolution) within the framework of civilization and specifically capitalistic cultures suggesting that there is some "genetic" component to the success of western culture/economies. Those "stone-age" tribes may be still better suited culturally (and emotionally) to there ancestral practices since their genetic legacy did not include exposure to capitalism.
