You can use some natural selection justification if you want, but then you have to explain how you can extrapolate outwards from a biological process to a system of morality.

naturalistic fallacy?

[/ QUOTE ]

The naturalistic fallacy is a fallacy. Oof, that felt very meta.

Accusing something of being a naturalistic fallacy is being rather anthropocentric. You are implying that human behavior can't be studied scientifically. Humans are animals, their behavior (including their ethics) can and have been studied scientifically.
