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.
Many animals (including man) have a complex social order, but those animals did not "evolve" a moral consciousness, on the other hand humans have. How can evolution explain this? Appealing to a complex social order simply begs the question.
