Fine, so the initial moral constructs were the result of the necessity to live in a society. But this morality takes care of rudimentary interactions.

The big question is whence springs the morality that cannot be explained by egotistical objectives nor by social contracts. In a world devoid of an ultimate authority and arbiter of morality, such as God, does something like altruism exist in humans and, if it does, why ?
