My theory personally is that at some point between apes and the human form as it is now (very very close but not quite), God granted "human souls" to one male and one female (Adam and Eve), in the form of intelligence to recognize morality.
I guess scientifically you could explain that as the first neuron/brain connection, or whatever it would be, which made the difference between an innocent animal and a human who is able to understand right from wrong, thus attaining moral free will.
There's evidence primitive proto-humans buried their dead. So there was more going on upstairs before we became Homo Sapiens.
Sure, but the transition between innocence and moral understanding had to happen at some point. I'm not saying it wasn't a slow process though, but I think there was an instance where something finally "clicked", just enough to where morality could be understood.
This is all my own personal guess of course.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
