Proven in repeatable experiments.
I'll ask you the same question, where do they get it from?
The way I understand the bonobo experiments is that when a conflict arises the alphas or dominate members take control of the situation, dole out justice as they see fit, and the rest submit.
This is only keeping order under the might is right rule.
Unless there is an experiment that shows how bonobos react when placed against a separate community of bonobos and only enough resources for one?

-What is the standard that they measure it by? Two people arguing a moral difficulty, what does the third person say, do, or show that ends the argument?
Many people have many opinions, so I think you could say that the best decision can be found when you combine them. The person that ends the argument is the one that manages to satisfy both sides.
So, I guess that is a moral standard? What is your moral standard?
Person A wants to kill the human baby for food. Person B wants to wait.
What is the standard here?
