How does evolution explain our moral values?
If we evolved from some type of ape, how come we have have moral values? There is no reason for us to care about anyone else besides ourselfs. Yet we care about others and we want people to feel good emotionally and physically.
I’m curious on everyone’s thoughts on this.

We’re social animal, and species that can organize and function in groups survive and thrive more than solitary ones. More eyes to watch for predators. More hand and feet to fend off intruders. More eyes to watch children. More bodies to hunt for food and gather resources. Morality serves the evolutionary function of smoothing social relationships in the group. Because the group will unravel if only the strongest, most aggressive and most ruthless members benefit from it. It’s why dictatorship seldom last very long, and kings struggle to hold onto their crowns.
