Thus, with advancing Evolution, the female sex- characteristics have engendered, in both sexes, qualities of quietism and subordination, to temper those of force and aggression ; amenities of gentleness, forbearance and affection, to soften assertiveness, turn the edge of strife, and fructify intelligence. Thus, human civilisa- tion has been fostered and furthered.
In the hybrid creature that every man and woman is, are grouped two sets of Contrasting Traits, or Sex-character- istics : traits Dominant, or male, and traits Recessive, or female. And in the complex human hybrid, these traits, ever increasing in complexity of constitution and further diverging in trend, are associated in ever more close and complex poise and counterpoise as both become more intensified and intelligised. Man is a hybrid in whom the male Dominant traits derived from his father prevail in impulse and develop- ment over the female Recessive traits derived from his mother. Woman is a hybrid in whom the maternal Recessive traits prevail in impulse and development over the male Dominant traits she has inherited from her father.
The Woman-traits (which, as said, reach their highest culmination in mother-traits), become in man paternal traits; modified mother-instincts which move him not only to love, in addition to providing for and protecting offspring, but, transfiguring all his other characteristics, move him to philanthropy, amity, tolerance and altruism in his dealings with his fellow-creatures.
