...genes. Now we live in big cities. We are not among kin nor people who will ever reciprocate our good deeds. It doesn't matter. Just as people engaged in sex with contraception are not aware of being motivated by a drive to have babies, it doesn't cross our mind that the reason for do-gooding is based in the fact that our primitive ancestors lived in small groups. But that seems to me to be a highly plausible account for where the desire for morality, the desire for goodness, comes from...
...what I thought were cogent arguments against a supernatural intelligent designer. But it does seem to me to be a worthy idea.

...ready to move on with his life. Then suddenly I show up and someone from the village says "Hey, this white woman"-he didn't know who I was-"wants to adopt your child!" And once the press got involved everyone said, Oh God, now we better cross our t's and dot our i's to make sure we actually aren't jumping queues, because we're going to be scrutinized. So the process became extremely tedious and the court dates kept changing and we kept getting conflicting information. It became so difficult that every day I thought...
