How do you know this to be true?
I'm not sure that babies who are pre-verbal, who have few or no conceptions in their minds, can be said to be moral.
That they evolved to develop morality, as they acquire concepts, seems likely. But I don't see how morality is present from birth, merely from DNA.
What argument do you have to demonstrate your position?
I don't know it to be true. It is a theory to me that I believe to be true. The argument that I have to demonstrate my position is presented in my original post.
