The theory of evolution, like all scientific theories, is morally neutral.

Maybe. If that is the case, how is it supposed to be "useful" to conservatism while perfectability and imperfectability of human nature clearly are not neutral?

Well, frankly, I disagree with this article on this matter. I don't think the theory of evolution can tell you whether human nature is perfectable or not.

It's imperfectability is simply an empirical fact that's true regardless of whether evolution is true or not.
