This sentence struck me, Will....can you clarify?

It always seemed to me that our abilities to weigh the morality of a
decision...the old "right vs. wrong"...was one of the things that separated
us from the rest of the animals.

I'm sure you aren't suggesting that other animals can weigh the morality of
their decisions, so I'm guessing you are saying that biological concerns can
drive animals to make a decision that, as it turns out, was also the
"morally correct" decision. So...biology can drive morality, even though no
actual weight was given to "right vs. wrong".

If i'm right in my supposition....let me ask you this: "Can a decision be
truly valued on it's 'morality', if no weight was given to right vs. wrong."
