Updating Burke's moral imagination in light of the sociobiological definition of human nature and the biological origin of social behavior, we can affirm an evolutionary conservatism and romantic realism basically derived from the genes holding culture on a leash. As Edward O. Wilson said “...the leash is very long, but inevitably values will be constrained in accordance with their effects on the human gene pool. The brain is a product of evolution. Human behavior is the circuitous technique by which human genetic material has been and will be kept intact.”
We can then see how evolutionary conservatism derives from human nature being in reality genetically ethnocentric, even xenophobic, as well as being kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual marriage-making, hierarchical, with group-selection as the primary unit of selection.
We can see how romantic realism derives from updating Wilson's idea that morality has no other demonstrable ultimate function than the successful survival and reproduction of the genes and by adding that we are also aided in evolution by an inward, purely physical activation to materially evolve toward ascending levels of Godhood.
We can get out from under the idea of original sin and see that real human nature is good. Our moral imagination can affirm a realistic yet romantic natural rights or civil rights movement that promotes an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states. Multicultural multi-ethnic societies are a zero sum game where the gain of one ethnic group is offset by the loss of another ethnic group, with much cruel social discord in the process. Ethnostates are in harmony with the biological origin of social behavior and in accord with real human nature.
