Well, morality, unlike gravity, seems to be an activity that is at least in some senses uniquely human, and so should be able to accounted for in naturalistic, evolutionary terms, since the theory says that humans are the product of undirected natural forces.

That's a pretty large leap. You might as well insist that evolution account for television, since that is uniquely human as well - that makes about as much sense.

You might as well insist that evolution account for television...

Television is of human design, which would mean that naturalistic evolution ends up producing design. But is morality, like television, merely a human invention? Neither analogy of morality to an impersonal physical force like gravity or a human invention like television seems to work very well. My point is that evolutionary theorists are attempting to explain how morality evolved.
