Morals aren't that hard to dictate, however. The ultimate principle is in the end a huge thing that people would discuss but there are simple wrongs and rights people commit to and get treated as the opposite.
The set of moral standards and social norms that we have today gradually came into being from simpler sets of societal codes that were probably based on altruistic instincts or the desire to survive as a group or tribe which early humans were known to do.

Well, you can't blame early humans for having their morals I mean if they didnt have the morals they had they would have probably died

I think when it came down to it survival stood more than morality. In either case, a sense of morality was probably deriven for nature to make sure things were going literally "right". At least, I'd imagine, within our own race.
Chimps have shown a likeliness to do the same, I might add.

I don't even though we might morals doesn't necessarily make things "right". I guess that would be more under "Ethics" because Ethics are more a "list" (I cant think of anything else to call it) that you follow to become a moral person. So, Even though that you are presented or anybody else is presented with ethics are there more people that follow morals than people who dont?
Er.. I think of morality and ethical problems as the same thing. You just put down "ethics" as "commandments", in a different term it seems. That, and it isn't restricted to Religion.
Right now where I live, Holladay15, if more people follow morals than people who don't then believe me, the standard is exceptionally low and even wrong.
