Nobody here disagrees with the factual history in your comment - that our brain circuitry is indeed the product of evolution. The moral interpretation you're putting on top of it is questionable, and poorly supported in your comment... and, of course, a product of evolved brain circuitry. :)
You treat the history as news expected to shock us, with only one sufficiently hardheaded interpretation; actually it's news that is very old to us, and there are many other ways to react to it besides that. So, roughly, failed attempt to impress with hardheaded materialism?
