So I"ll ask the question again...Are some behavioral dispositions and actions moral because they evolved or did they evolve because they are moral?

Funny - that question is usually aimed at God isn't it? For example:

"Are some behavioural dispositions and actions moral because God says so or does God comply with a higher morality?"
