Louisville, Kentucky Morals are but an aspect of the mechanics of evolution.
I think it comes from our hunting, gathering, cave dwelling past.
Could you-all clarify your statements a little further for me, please; specifically, are you saying that morality is different from right-vs.-wrong, and if so, how?

Lower Aberdeen, Mississippi Now BS, you know very well that the rules of Capitalization grade into convention. You can if you like de-capitalize the word "earth" but when you come down to earth you'll still find "Earth" capitalized by the coterie.
But my capitaling was just for kicks.

Yes Jackie, morality is different from right and wrong but at the same time they are the same. Both concepts are cultural devises invented to abet the continuance of the breeding group.
"Right and wrong" are the parameters of acceptable behavior and "morality" encompasses a subservience to the Cultural norm.

Morals is about right-vs-wrong. Only the right-vs-wrong can differ from culture to culture. I was told by a Congolese friend that in the tribe where Mobutu came from, stealing without being caught was a highly esteemed virtue.
