The idea of the hereditary nature of altruism, kindness, modesty and other moral qualities was especially actively defended in Russian science until recently by the famous geneticist V.P. Efroimson. In a number of his publications, he wrote that the ability to distinguish between good and evil is already inherent in the human genotype. But the ethical code of kindness and altruism can be drowned out by the environment and upbringing. "There is a lot of "animal" in human nature, but there is a lot of "human" in animals," wrote V. Efroimson (Efroimson V.P. Genetics of ethics and aesthetics. St. Petersburg, 1995. – p. 43).
