Any more thoughts on whether it was non cognitive, subjective, or realist morality you were referring to in the op?
I doubt it could have been the first two as they're more directly tied to the biology of the holder than relativist morality is as a cultural possession. Just leaves realist morality. The question (more accurately) becoming..do evolutionary processes yield the apparatus required in order for human beings to accurately perceive states of affairs with a moral import? What do you think? Is there such a thing as being really wrong, and can human senses detect or establish when that occurs?
