Science, Creation & EvolutionHelix - atheistSince when do signs of 'morality' leave fossils? We don't have any 'morality bone' that is only present in humans.... so what kind of fossils would you be looking for? -------------- [quote'="Aineo"] Okay, so how can evolution explain the ability to commuicate (with languages) moral concepts that are foreign to the animal kingdom?[/quote] Humans are a type of animal, so saying that morality is foreign to the animal kindom is per default incorrect. I said before that morality is something purely human. You want to know how evolution brought forth the ability to communicate moral concepts? Communication is something we see in a lot of social animals (dolphins, ants, monkeys, squid, birds etc.). We have developed a language that can describe objects and even abstract ideas very precisely. If you want to know what stimulated us to develop morality (in an evolutionary way) than I think you should rephrase the question. Your question would intrinsicaly mean that evolution deliberately 'caused' us to develop morality. There is no reason to assume that. I personally think that morality (defining what is 'right' and 'wrong') is nothing more than a side-effect of our complex society. |
