Let's say we evolved from Lions

[brewer]

Let's say we evolved from Lions and eventually became a sentient form of Lions.

And suppose the instinct to kill children of new wife came about when marrying. Suppose in this scenario, the instinct to fight one another is gone, but the instinct to kill the children of a divorced or widow new wife, was so strong, it would be very hard to control rage levels of the male looking at the children and very hard to avoid the instinct to kill the children.


The morality framework we work with as Lion Setient species in this possible scenario, can it be called "morality" and can we be called compassionate or empathetic if aside from that, we act with mostly morals we are use to now as humans?


I will form an argument out of this soon so think about responses.

You're indicating that the lions evolved but retain the same behavior patterns. If they evolved to produce a society similar to ours it is naive to think that their behavior would not also evolve and change.
