Hi, I am new here. I am unclear as to exactly how evolution explains morality. My understanding is that if a group of organisms develops a moral trait, they will be more likely to survive than a group of organisms without the trait because of the positive effects it will have on the group. Is this more or less correct? I would appreciate either direct answers, or links pointing me to discussions that answer this question.
