To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Heredity and tradition allow respec- tively of the accumulation of organic or societal variations through repeated selection, extend- ing over generations, in this or that direction. In short, what one can say of the general effects of heredity in the organic realm he can say of tradition in the field of the folkways. That the transmission is in the one case by way of the organs of sex and the germ-plasm, and in the other through the action of the vocal cords, the auditory nerves, etc., would s...eem to be of small moment in comparison with the essential identity in the functions discharged. Tradition is, in a sense and if such compar- ison were profitable, more conservative than heredity. There is in the content of tradition an invariability which could not exist if it were a dual composite as is the constitution of the germ-plasm. Here we must recall certain et- 214 SOCIETAL EVOLUTION sential qualities of the mores which we have hitherto viewed from another angle. Tradition always looks to the folkways as constituting the matter to be transmitted.
