If we're strictly speaking about evolution, then the only goal evolution has in mind is for me to have sex successfully. Any selected for feature, is terribly short sighted, developed in consideration of immediate ecological pressures, with very little to any changes in our biology, as the product of natural selection, since the beginnings of our species, in our more tribal predicament.
So it shouldn't be surprising that the people I care about the most is my family, and my small community, and not so much humanity as a whole. Whether or not you get killed, robbed, etc... is of far less of a concern for most people than the glass in their cupboard, or their iPhones.
Not only do I not possess such a goal, I also reject the moral authority, of your supposed group that subscribes to such a goal, and wants to impose such an obligation on to me.
Based on this predicament, where does that leave your objective morality? It's true for you, but not for me?
I don't think you know very much about human evolution, if that is what you believe it implies.
Yes, our moral impulses are acted out in relationship to the people in our families and communities. And this is a problem how exactly? Those are the people we are in contact with.
I see no predicament. I think you are just making things up at this point.
