Yes I am sure the first time you were hurt as a baby, before conscious thought even kicked in, you suddenly knew what was “morally correct”.

I dud not say that.

There is no such thing as “inherent” traits. If that were true no human would hurt another human because we all would be coded not to do that and wouldn’t need someone to tell you what is wrong and right.

There are, believe it or not, more things besides empathy that determine human behaviour. Weird, complicated creatures.

If all evidence suggests that groups of humans have all had a spiritual belief structure I think it is safe to assume that as a requirement for a consistent, and easy to communicate “moral code”.

That just means humans akso have an inherent wish to understand and explain things, even when they don’t have the necessary means yet.
