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.

We can't know anything for sure until we see it happen naturally. Currently to my knowledge, most apes feel pretty much every emotion we do and at least have the most basic form of empathy. There is in fact some research that suggests that animals do in fact have some sense of morality and a sense of right and wrong.
