Evolution is a wild beast.
How can honesty be favored, if dishonesty is equally beneficial to survive?
Self-honesty wise, back in the day, wouldn't go with the Shamans and their stories and lies, and self-deceiving yourself that you know them to be true, be better then refuting them and not uniting with your tribe/people on them.
At the same time, honesty to others, could get you in trouble.
Seems again, evolution favors both the evil and good. Where it suits us to be dishonest to ourselves and others for survival and thriving, we did it.
And where it didn't, it did not.
This a tip of the iceberg of the problem with morality and evolution.
