Abstract

Human souls unlike animal ones have moral beliefs, universalizable beliefs of a certain kind about what is best to do Hence, they have a conscience that urges them to do some actions and not others. Moral beliefs are a natural acquisition for thinking humans, though not one that conveys any evolutionary advantage on the possessor.
