These studies provide empirical support for the idea that, like other psychological faculties of the mind, including language and mathematics, we are endowed with a moral faculty that guides our intuitive judgments of right and wrong. These intuitions reflect the outcome of millions of years in which our ancestors have lived as social mammals, and are part of our common inheritance.
如同头脑的其他能力，包括语言和数学一样，我们具有道德能力，可以指引我们对对错作出直觉判断。这些研究为这一观点提供了经验主义的支持。这些直觉反应都是我们的祖先作为社会哺乳动物生存数以百万年的结果，也是我们共同的继承遗产的一部分。
