alt Hacker News> The reason that I am not killing people left and right is not because it is illegal to so but because it is immoral.
Evolution and natural selection does not care about morality.
Why should humans?
“because humans are better than apes” …? Weak argument.

Because we have free will and choose to subject to morality. We have what we have today because of morality (in some form), not in spite of it.
Without some moral system, we would live like every other animal, and don’t mistake that for a judgement.

Evolution does not care about morality, but it did create the faculty of morality on humans

All human behavior, including the way humans universally have a sense of right and wrong, is the result of evolution and natural selection on some level. Morality isn't some concept cooked up by aliens, it's a naturally emergent behavior and not just in humans.
