If we evolved from some type of ape, how come we have have moral values? There is no reason for us to care about anyone else besides ourselfs. Yet we care about others and we want people to feel good emotionally and physically.
I’m curious on everyone’s thoughts on this.

It's a primal byproduct that is intended to maintain the species as a whole. It's the reason there's herds of sheep, packs of wolves, and flocks of birds. By keeping an eye out for the others, in turn your own probability of survival increases. If a mother is wired to care about their child, the child lives to prolong the species by carrying on the cycle. We are a product of our own chemical engineering.
