"Inherent in the nature of man" means derivable by reflection of human nature, its needs, and the means of its perfection. Much of the fundamental argument along these lines was done by Plato and Aristotle in the 5th century B.C. It is like determining the normative concept of "health", and the means to get it. Medical science advanced precipitously in the last century, but that does not mean that it is conventional.

Additionally, of course, the laws of physics or chemical structure of the universe are inherent, and the fact that both sciences barely existed on a sound basis until Newton or Lavoisier, or that many major facts and theories were discovered in the last one hundred years, does not prove otherwise. If I said: "for something inherent, they certainly took a long time to emerge", I would be talking nonsense.......
