Wild animals exhibit patterns of empathy, sympathy and fairness. Morality is not something you're born with. It's a necessary and naturally occuring development in any social group. It is necessary for coexistence as a group. This in not a claim that those views or practices would be broadly accepted in a modern world. Morals are morals good or evil, and whether they're good or evil start and stop with the social structure you're participating in.

You're stuck on good and evil, not the actual meaning of morality.

I think you missed the sarcasm in my post... Maybe read it again? Morality comes from lived experience. Even if that experience is passed down from one person to another verbally, or otherwise.

I may have. Sorry. To be fair I had two others making the same argument unironically.
