Reading a book on evolutionary psychology won't help you resolve most confusions about morality, in the same way that reading a book on cannons won't help you resolve most confusions about parabolas.

I think you have a lot of work left to do. And by that I don't mean reading about evolution - I mean dissecting a lot of confusing arguments and playing "why do I believe what I believe."
