Evolutionary Advantage of guilt.

alright so why do we feel guilt... the evolutionary advantage of guilt not "because God wants us to feel bad for doing bad things."
in my opinion i think that we feel guilt because when we do feel guilty it is usualy because we killed/hurt something/someone, we stole something, we lied, we had an affair,etc.
the purpose of feeling an unpleasing stimuli is to keep us from continuing to do the task. this might be to keep us from, lets say you are stealing money from your room mate. because you migt be caught stealing from your room mate or he/she might become suspicous. so thouse who felt guilt must have avoided doing risky things to acheive more... and maybe because of that they were liked more so they had less enemies/rivals and being liked by the group must have meant that they wouldn't get a club in the back of the head while out hunting or gathering.just my suggestions post your suggestions here and maybe we can figure this out... if it has been figured out then teach please so we can find anny holes in it and test the crap outta it >_<

well i'm still in highschool so my gess is not really educated.well i googled the topic and read the breif description each hit came up with and it seemed to say that it is an advantage to keep interspecal aggression... that way we can focus on killing other species instead of eachother... till someone bangs ur wife. Then it's on! >_<

sorry for the double post but i gess this topic was answered... damng i wanted a debate.well if all else fails to get a debate started... LET THE CREATIONISTS IN!! >_<

well yes i suck at wording things together and never seem to get every bit of info in what i say. but thats why this topic was made: so people could tear it to bits and throw in their ideas so be can peice it together in a more understanding way.i gess the scientific theory could be simplified to that... then again i'm probably missing info in what i just said .well tear away.

well what i would think is that there is not just one gene that says "feel guilt".
It is probably a combination that you fell you have done something "wrong" what is determined to be wrong is probably lern from what i've observed. this is because when a child is young they do almost whatever they feel like doing and do not suddenly stop and think to themselves "ohhh dang maybe i should apologize for hitting him".
or maybe guilt is located in a part of the brain that has not developed yet.i too would like some scientific data on this.
