For the most part I'm referring to multicellular creatures, and primarily creatures complex enough to have recognizable instinct. A billion years pretty much covers all of those creatures.
Sorry Rob, I thought you were referring to human genetic imperatives in the following:
"Another idea that comes to mind is that morality and ethics are new things that have only existed for a few thousand years, but genetic imperatives have been around for at least a billion years."
In which case a billion years doesn't quite fit. Hence my protozoa wisecrack. (Yes, you COULD get me on the evolution technicality)
Seems as though I made that subconscious underestimation of the thought behind your words. And for the record Rob, that's not an insult.
