You've challenged that morality is instinctive or inherent, but offer no retort.

Do you even have an argument, or are you just gesticulating?

I gave you a basis for morality, and how it appears to be innate, using pithy justifications.

Snark doesn't qualify as a response.

The lack of morality among all mammalian species indicates it is not instinctive or innate.

Unless you are claiming morality has been universally practices in all human culture.

You argue like a creationist or other know nothing dolt. Make a blanket, unsupported statement, claiming something that is obviously absurd on the face of it, then think it must be disproven rather than you making your case for it.

Look up reciprocal altruism for some ideas along the lines of morality in humans from a biological perspective. It’s still a far cry from instinctive.
