How does evolution explain our moral values?

If we evolved from some type of ape, how come we have have moral values? There is no reason for us to care about anyone else besides ourselfs. Yet we care about others and we want people to feel good emotionally and physically. I’m curious on everyone’s thoughts on this. [spoiler]Edit: forgot my tag... again. [/spoiler]

  • I already answered, but I thought of a different way to think about/answer this question. As a sort of “thought experiment,” imagine this hypothetical scientific test... You take any social species - a species that depend on one another for survival - and separate them into two groups. Group A: these individuals are completely selfish and do not behave “morally.” Group B: these individuals exhibit “moral” or unselfish behavior. Which group do you predict would survive, reproduce, and generally thrive the best?
