In his conclusion, Darwin structures his final statements as a large summary of his thesis and a response to possible critics of his beliefs. After every few sentences, Darwin recognizes the opposing argument and gathers evidence or offers analysis that answer to the criticism. His intentions in the conclusion is to persuade his readers to agree with his argument on evolution.
Contradicting religious beliefs, Darwin does not view the creation of each creature noble. In his thesis, he states that the creation of each creature resulted from years of the successful procreation of dominant creatures in a species, which, for him, is what ennobles these creatures. In the passing of dominant traits within a species, each line of descendants approaches a higher sense of nobility, or perhaps perfection.
