Evolution does not necessarily imply morality, though. Especially from a Darwinian point of view. Helping the human child was of no benefit to the gorilla; it neither strengthened his own survivability nor indicated an alteration of his genes in a beneficial way.

I totally agree. Morality does seem to be of evolutionary benefit to a tribal species dependent on solidarity with one another.
