Excerpt from The Origin and Growth of the Moral Instinct, Vol. 1 of 2 If the name of Charles Darwin but rarely occurs in these pages, it is not that they owe little to his influence. On the contrary, full half of the book is a detailed expansion of the fourth and fifth chapters of his Descent of Man. But in that portion of his memorable work, the great naturalist has given us clearly to understand that he offers us only a brief sketch, not any full and completed demonstration. His progress in these chapters reminds us of the march of some active and brilliant general who outlines a great conquest, but leaves behind him many a fort, and city, and strong place, to be subsequently beleaguered by plodding officers, each concluding in his own province, by time and labour, what his commander had effectively done in design. Darwin showed in these chapters a noble gift of insight, but to have made good his position from point to point, to have left nothing behind him unreduced, would have demanded a labour which neither his own health nor the length of an ordinary life would have permitted. He left many a department in which a book such as the following might make itself useful, by laboriously filling in the master's scheme.

Excerpt from The Origin and Growth of the Moral Instinct, Vol. 2 of 2 I had prepared an elaborate chapter relating the history of slavery among mankind, and showing how it begins to arise as an institution at the level of the highest savages, how it expands and reaches its most miserable phases at the highest barbarian level; how it still expands at the level of the lower civilisation, but loses much of its atrocity; how it then begins to die away, not as the result of teaching or any extraneous influence, but purely as the consequence of elimination, man as seen in a cultured community having a more sympathetic nerve reaction than man on the barbarian level Then I had prepared a chapter on the history of religious animosity, showing that, in spite of the efforts of creeds and systems, men of all faiths have grown more tolerant. Religions generally teach a doctrine of brotherliness and mutual help within the circle of the faith, but of condemnation, abhorrence, or even of extirpation beyond it. Yet, by a steady expansion of the sympathetic tendencies, a tolerant feeling in the course of ages spreads and embraces in an ever-widening area men of other faiths. Such a history shows emphatically how very large a proportion of this change has belonged to the last century or two.

A treatise on the evolution of moral behavior, written by Scottish philosopher Alexander Sutherland. The book draws on ideas from both biology and social theory to argue that morality is innate to human beings and has developed over millennia as a means of promoting cooperative behavior. Despite being written in the late 19th century, many of its insights and arguments remain relevant to contemporary discussions of morality and human nature.
