Abstract
Buchanan and Powell hope to rescue optimism about moral perfectibility from the 'received view' of human evolution, by tweaking our view of the innate character of morality. I argue that their intervention is hampered by an unnecessary commitment to nativism, by gender bias within the received view, and by liberal presuppositions.
