Are you attempting to suggest that evolution would posit that murder is morally acceptable?

evolution doesn't speak to morality since nature has no ability to judge actions..humans judge action, but such judgment is subject to natural selection, so judgments would "evolve" one day judgment right maybe evolves to wrong and back again...or not, who knows, the future of selective pressures.
as it doesn't speak to a lion eating a baby as a judgment... but such behavior is selected for or against. lions could lose the behavior all together or it could become more prevalent depending on the survivability and propagation of said behavior.
so accordingly "morality" and the "lack there of", would both be subject to selection for or against depending on the environmental climate of the age. which now includes human behaviors. morality as a behavior/thought/idea, could become more or less prevalent or even change perceptions of what is moral vs. immoral.. with in groups or the entire human existence.
validated on survival and propagation of those traits.
