Dawkins is an ideologue. A smart one, it's true, but a myopic ideologue nonetheless.
I don't think the alternative to nature+nurture is angels and demons. What about real, honest, cognition?
Of course, you coud say that our cognition is altered by whatever prism with which we were raised, but I still think the ability to cognate is what sets us apart from the animals. And if one can cognate, one can decipher the difference between good and "evil." Right?
