So your point would be that morality, on a greater scale, is a way for human beings to survive the evolutionary progression? This is an argument I happen to agree with if you're making it, in this sense--
We have many evolutionary advantages as humans. Physical Strength is NOT our greatest. If you think about it, we can be physically overpowered by many other beasts within nature. However, our minds are unmatched. This must be our evolutionary advantage. If our minds emulate the feeling of "I feel bad when I see a pregnant woman being beaten to death, but I don't feel bad when I see a pregnant woman given a foot massage..Rather I feel GOOD for that woman." This ensures the survival of both the mother and the baby, and the relaxation of the mother is in fact encouraged. (Which may result in a healthier baby)?
