Sure, the OP was about how it looked like at the level of the brain. It doesn't address the source of it, the stimuli that the brain to perceive what it does. The OP was primarily composed to show how A and B are post hoc justifications.

Quote:And based on my understanding of the sciences, how we've evolved morally has a lot to do with wellbeing and flourishing and such. It's just not definitive yet and is far more complex than just one stock answer to the question of human morality.

Our biological features aren't the same as rationally deduced considerations. All of our biological tendency's, and inclination both good and bad exists as the result of the survival and reproductive benefits they offered. Secondly morality isn' just about matters of behaviors, but beliefs.And one of those beliefs, thats near universal is a perception of an objective moral reality out there. If such a reality exists it can't be reduced to our biology, anymore so than any other objective object can be.
