Reply to comment by Ma3Ke4Li3 in Patricia Churchland argues that morality is rooted in our Darwinian biology. She links morality to warm-bloodedness, which required an adaptation to care for others (originally, infants). This is the biological basis for unselfish concern, and later, moral intuitions. by Ma3Ke4Li3

Unselfish concerns for offspring? They can barely think, let alone be concerned with anything other than crying. Birds are quite savage too. This is probably the worst abstract I've read in a while...

Humans need to stick together to survive which is why there is a moral construct that exists. It appears rooted in biology only because you are raised by a family but if you look at history, you can clearly see that morality isn't programmed by virtue of biology. Obviously, because you have a brain you can comprehend social norms and be "moral".
