A pólvora

"It must not be forgotten that although a high standard of morality
gives but a slight or no advantage to each individual man and his
children over the other men of the same tribe, (...) an increase in

morality will certainly give an immense advantage to one tribe over
another."


No The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex de Charles Darwin, 1871.
