![]() "Dan Luke" wrote in message ... "Matt Barrow" wrote: Learning right from wrong comes from evolution. Evolution comes from learning right from wrong. Both are correct. Populations of organisms "learn" the right way to survive in their environments or they perish. That's nice, but that's not "right from wrong" except on the most extreme fringe. We're talking morality (self preservation) and ethics (conduct towards others) which are intellectual pursuits, not biological (though they are linked). The ability to do this is coded into their genes. The coding changes over time due to a combination of mutation and natural selection, i.e., by evolution. Animals have instincts that have developed from evolution. Humans have reason and, from that, develop principles. |
