"The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion?". Hmm...
So, from your comment, I'm guessing that the answer in the book to the question in the subtitle is that there is some baked in "morality" in us, that evolution gave us? If so, that's extremely misguided.
If there was such a thing, it would be at least somewhat similar across all human tribes and cultures. That's not the case at all. It's vastly different throughout history and across cultures because these things have everything to do with power dynamics and resource distribution.
And? Monkeys have hierarchies. If they repeated this experiment but swappped the monkeys, it would turn out differently. The experiment is designed and orchestrated to show some sort of "equal pay" nonsense. What is happening is that the monkey on the left is socially higher than the one on the right... and hence it is used to claiming better food for itself first. When it sees the other one gets it, it gets pissed off. When these higher ups get injured, get sick or get old, someone else claims the status. It's all power dynamics and fight over resources. It has nothing to do with "morality".

I don't know what your western intellectuals call it but if I were to translate it to English, it would roughly translate to "reality".
One last comment because you seem young and confused:
Don't give up on acquiring knowledge. It seems like you think you have all the answers. That's just your low resolution view of the world. And it's sad to see such an obviously motivated and excited child with such an impoverished perspective of the world.
People have been struggling for thousands of years with the very topics you say to have already mastered. This is the ignorance you're getting down voted for.
> If there was such a thing, it would be at least somewhat similar across all human tribes and cultures.
It is. Read the book. Look into his data.
How can you even jump to conclusions without reading the source?
Do you see how it looks like you're trolling?
You might also want to read Blank Slate by Stephen Pinker.
No, there isn't.
