Having evolved core moral intuitions & then built on them in accordance with how we understood the world isn't enough?
What then? If not Pythagorus' evolved abilities and his environment & culture?

Pythagorus' theorem is a thing, cos it's actually true, and we were able to discover it. If it weren't true, it wouldn't be a thing.

What other than evolved abilities, environment & culture is responsible for it?

The knowledge itself is not in our genes. Neither is it in the environment, or was it in the culture.

So I admit, it's mysterious! Where exactly did it come from, if it wasn't already present in those places?
