Ethics, Evolutionary Biology, Moral Feelings, Genes, CultureAbstract
Results from evolutionary biology are sometimes relevant in ethics. It is possible to identify the effects of this science in at least three levels of ethics: the descriptive, the normative and the metaethical one. Our objective is to show what is the interrelation between these two disciplines and how is it possible to justify the origin of the moral behavior from the point of view of evolutionary biology. For doing so, it will be necessary to show the interactions between genes and environment, to face the challenge of the naturalistic fallacy and to show the relationships between the different capacities resulting from the evolutionary process.
