    I don't think they do. Our morals are very human. They evolved, mostly within our prefrontal cortexes, as a way to make us survive & thrive as social mammals. If we were to look to something bigger than us for our morals, they would probably be very different.https://twitter.com/KantBreal/status/979323626968231937 …

    Morals need transcendence. Think and act greater than oneself. The problem is the to convey the moral upon generations. If every generation has to reinvent, not just variables, the moral structure, it can be very problematic. As the Decalogue warned, self worship is natural.

        Hasn't evolutionary psychology proven morals are biologically driven and some animals react to immoral behavior?

        I mean some animals react negatively when observing immoral behavior even if it doesnt affect them

        Yes, social mammals mostly. They have evolved rudiments of this too. Dogs have a sense of fairness and reciprocity and they require apologies if accidentally hurt.

        Same only different. Animals will become self serving, but there is a biological self serving too. Mothers die protecting the offspring, where fathers will eat the offspring for survival. Higher order of animal has higher level of thought, totality of the good rather than self.

        Twitter is so insufficient/inefficient in transmitting ideas and concepts!

        The bigger than the individual, it can be the totality of us, or a deity, Gaia, etc...if we think in simplistic Rand Objectivism, or self worship/indulgence, base hedonism, we will not promote the perpetuation of the species.
