Hi DM, If we are hardwired to be empathetic and compassionate, a few thugs at the top dedicated to silencing all dissenters wouldn't have been able to control an entire nation, killing millions in the process. Nor would the U.S. during the 40's have turned away a boat load of Jews trying to escape from Nazi Germany. History simply belies the notion of hard-wired morality except for the morality of the biological level, namely, "Me first."
