Best Answer

Natural selection has selected the morality we have today, its built In to our instibt to understand eachothers emotions, facial expressions etc, natural selection favours a species with a good morality as this increaaes the survival of offspring, the offspring will normally have the same morality and understanding of emotions and thus pass it on from generation to generation, those that weaker morality would have not been able to reproduce as succesfully as the offspring would have had less help from the others in the community if any, and woud be less likely to make it to adulthood and reproduce,

Does evolution set us free?

Evolution is simply a fact of nature, and a collection of mechanisms to explain that fact. It says nothing about philosophy or morality or any other abstract human ideas about purpose or liberation (although some certainly try to make it). If you think you can live your life your way, then do it. Evolution will not help you, but neither will it stop you; it simply doesn't matter.
