As already stated, it is a meme and not a gene. To process a meme all that is needed is a brain. I'm not sure what genes are responsible for brain development, but I can provide scientific evidence that brains exists.
So are you claiming that morality is nothing more than a survival mechanism that evolved at random throughout history?
If so, do you also believe that no absolute standard of morality exists? So, for example, the most hideous torture of a child is wrong only because we have evolved a sense of shame for doing such things — but that sense of shame is really only some kind of psychological illusion?
If you really believe that, you would have been a fine Nazi. All you would have needed to do is to see through that annoying little cultural “illusion” of conscience.
