The influ- ence of the presence of parents, family, and companions on the growing young of animals extends to some of the most vital functions of their life ; and few instincts are entirely free from it. These considerations relieve considerably the strain put upon natural selection in the Darwinian theory of instinct; since it is no longer called upon in such instances to account for the perfect, invariable, and precisely adapted instincts described by the older naturalists. Instead, its opera...tion need extend only to that factor or part of the instinct which is actually inherited. Tradition, the social factor, does the rest. 1 A further selectionist theory of instinct is made 1 This is made the more evident, if it be true, as the theory of "organic selection" mentioned above maintains, that the accom- modations resulting- from learning-, exercise, tradition, etc. , screen and keep alive variations coincident in direction with themselves. In this case, the course of natural selection would be directly in the lines first marked out by intelligent, social, and other adapta- tions ; and any stage of development of the innate factor would be effective if supplemented by acquired modifications, as the circumstances of the case might require.
