I think he reconciles his perspective very well and can easily explain the primitive impulses in play regarding our ancestral evolution and the more complex and nuanced behaviour we are capable of due to our intelligence and intellect. I think the failure here is your lack of understanding of his perspective rather than his perspective per se.
