This study: http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070529/LIFESTYLE03/705290323/1040 sheds a lot of light on what we think about morality.
In testing, when subjects are asked to think about giving to charity and donating money for good causes, a very primitive part of their brain lights up, that is similar to hunger and the sex drive.
In many studies on animals, over and over again, we see that they are compassionate and altruistic. How does this impact our ideas about the nature of morality? Is it divine or does it evolve naturally?
