It's from an article in EVZ on Darwin. I understand it's about his vision and descendants, but I'm not sure exactly what means.
Thank you in advance! :-)

His (her) vision about the "descendant's dower" is outdated as well/also outdated
Not sure if we are talking about a her or a him as "sa" could mean both

dower, dowry and inheritance
dower is the portion of inheritance that goes to the widow
Dower or morning gift (Latin doarium, or Latinized Germanic morganaticum; Fr. douaire, German Morgengabe) was a provision accorded by law to a wife for her support in the event that she should survive her husband (i.e., become a widow). It was settled on the bride by agreement at the time of the wedding, or provided by law. ("Settled" here refers to a gift into trust.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dower
a dowry, also called a "trousseau" is a portion that a woman brings into a marriage , similar to he bride price paid by the man under the same circumstances
A dowry (also known as trousseau or tocher) is the money, goods, or estate that a woman brings to her new husband.[1] Compare bride price, which is paid to the bride's parents, and dower, which is property settled on the bride herself by the groom at the time of marriage. The same culture may simultaneously practice both dowry and bride price. The dowry is an ancient custom, and its existence may well predate records of it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dowry
the thing you pass on to your descendants is called an inheritance
Inheritance is the practice of passing on property, titles, debts, and obligations upon the death of an individual. It has long played an important role in human societies. The rules of inheritance differ between societies and have changed over time.

a person is usually "endowed" with specific genetic traits - that ar ehis/her genetic inheritance
