Morality came from dog, not god

Researchers have discovered that dogs (and capuchin monkeys) may have an innate sense of morality.

“Monkeys and dogs judge humans by how they treat others.

Be nice – or your dog may judge you. Both pets and monkeys show a preference for people who help others, and this might explain the origins of our sense of morality.”
