If man is a natural creature and a product of evolution, it is reasonable to suppose that man's capacities as a knower are also a product of evolution. If we are capable of believing and knowing things, it must be because these capacities, and the organs in us or organization of us that are responsible for these capacities, historically performed a service that helped us to proliferate.
