                 DEBATES OF RELIGIOUS NATURE BUT
  in "The Descent of Man" he wrote
  THE MORAL NATURE OF MAN HAS REACHED ITS PRESENT STANDARD
  PARTLY THROUGH THE ADVANCEMENT OF HIS REASONING POWERS ...
  ESPECIALLY FROM HIS SYMPATHIES
  HAVING BEEN RENDERED MORE TENDER ...
  IT IS NOT IMPROBABLE THAT ...
  VIRTUOUS TENDENCIES MAY BE INHERITED ...
  ULTIMATELY MAN DOES NOT ACCEPT THE PRAISE OR BLAME
  OF HIS FELLOWS AS HIS SOLE GUIDE
  THOUGH FEW ESCAPE THIS INFLUENCE ...
  HIS CONSCIENCE THEN BECOMES
  THE SUPREME JUDGE AND MONITOR
  NEVERTHELESS THE FIRST FOUNDATION OR ORIGIN OF
  THE MORAL SENSE LIES IN THE SOCIAL INSTINCTS ...
  AS IN THE CASE OF THE LOWER ANIMALS ..."
