My supporting POV on selfishness motivating human moral values

RE: My supporting POV on selfishness motivating human moral values
Most of your post is a strawman

But the first paragraph deserves a response.
There are plenty of answers to the anthropological question about the origins of morality. Pointing out that people are selfish doesn't actually tell us how morality came about. The question itself might not ever have such a simple one dimensional answer, but no matter what the answer is, you can always reply with "no no no, see that is also the individual acting selfish".
