Comment on Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality.

I would love to see the archaeological evidence that suggests our species begun exploring “morality” through agreeing on certain behaviors being “good” or “bad”. Unfortunately all evidence we have on early humans demonstrates our species has been “spiritual”, e.g. believing in a greater force beyond our control that determines outcomes and promotes group unity, as long as we were leaving a mark on the world that outlasted our bodies.
You can disagree, but that doesn’t change what we know about early humans and their early belief systems, and that we lack any supporting evidence for your point.

We don’t need archeology we see it every day with pack animals. Those that don’t conform get ostracised or worse
