You're saying that empathy already existed as a consequence of evolution? That's interesting because it does appear that animals already display some characteristics of empathy, even though they are pretty brutal, lol. So the ability to empathize coupled with higher intelligence than that of primal animals, is what allowed humans to create morality? This actually makes some sense. I suppose what does not make sense is the fact that evolution exists in the first place.

No, empathy was the result of humans living in groups to sustain life, human psych evolution. The animals that display this behavior also live in groups.

Your problem seems to be that you believe 'evolution' is only genetic.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
