To find that any trait, even one with formidable political implications, has a mainly genetic basis is not to find something set immutably in stone. It is merely to understand the nature upon which nurture is ever acting, and those things we, as a society and as individuals, need to do if we are better to assist the process.

发现任何性状——即使是有可怕政治涵义的性状——其基础主要来自于遗传,来自于基因,并不代表它们是无法改变的。寻找它们只是为了了解人的天性,而教养则不断对天性发挥作用,如果我们的社会或个人要提升教养的作用,就必须了解天性。
