It is already evident there is an inherent moral function within each individual that is slowly unfolding.
Note morality impulses within babies;
Slavery is a moral issue.

Yale Psychology Professor Paul Bloom finds the origins of morality in infants

Morality is not just something that people learn, argues Yale psychologist Paul Bloom: It is something we are all born with.
Since the prevalence of slavery 10,000 years ago and the condoning of slavery even by God [Christianity, Islam, etc.], the natural inherent moral progress has reach a point where ALL sovereign nations now has legally banned slavery.
Christianity and Islam with their immutable doctrines and holy texts are in principle still condoning slavery.
There is also a general trend in the decrease of violence and evil since 10,000 to 5,000 to 50 to the present which is due to the inherent moral function within all humans.
You are obviously ignorant with morality and animals.
Animals comprised a wide range of evolving living entities with humans at the apex.
Morality has been evolving within evolution where it is very notable within humans.
As such there would definitely be evidence of low grade morality with the higher animals like the primates and the likes.

However in this case, it is very easy for anyone to repeat the testing and experiments to get the same results, thus objective. So far no one has done the same experiment to get contrasting results.
NOPE.also anyone can redefine instincts for morals if they want to. instincts are inherent to the species and not the same throughout living things in the earth. if morals were inherent then they would be the same always. where as in the real world morals require an agreement that is ether kept or broken or renegotiated.
First you have to define what is morality.
There are various definition of what is morality see:
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=29737
But there is only one morality proper which is generic to all humans, i.e.
viewtopic.php?p=469799#p469799
Note for example, one of the moral fact, i.e. "no human ought to kill humans" is universal to all humans which is most glaring even in non-violent religions, e.g. Christianity and others.
Note my point re the generic definition of what is morality above.back in the day there were those societies that require sacrificing children in fire, or in roman days it was normal, what the society agrees as ok, moral, to give your child to a rich influential pedophile for advancement in society. they are what is known as morals. just as your example of slavery at one time societies seen it as a good part of their societies, and now its agreed in most societies it is not good. again you are proving my point.
Sacrificing children, any killing of humans, slavery and other evil deeds cannot be categorized as moral.
Nope, you got it wrong.all you are trying to do is say instincts are morals and they are not, nada, null, nix, no way jose.
As above, not all instincts are moral, but morality is an inherent and POTENTIAL primal function in all humans which is like an instinct.
Morality is an inherent primal function like to breathe, sex, hunger, security, to learn & intelligence, to reason, and the likes. The more primal functions which are most critical for survival are more active than say greater learning and intelligence.
But like reason and intelligence, the moral potential is unfolding its potential slowly in time as humans evolve and progress in the basic needs. This is why the question of morality is more prevalent in our modern times than the olden days.
Whatever the circumstances, slavery is ultimately immoral.FYI on Israelis back when using slavery, then they were tribal like many societies of the day therefore they had no prisons but if you stool and could not make restitution according to the law, then you made restitution via slavery for x amount of years. there's more to the adim of that but that's the jest of it. how that morphed into what it became in 1800's is just history. societies that had prisons to punish criminals had not real need for slavery except those who sot finical advantage, and they started to out law it.
i am sure there are more reasons for slavery back then but we weren't there.
This is why when the moral potential unfolds, the more evil immoral acts are dealt with first, e.g. slavery and killing of humans.
That slavery is made immutable in the holy texts of Christianity, Islam and others is because theism and the holy texts are man-made and not from a real God; it is impossible for God to be a real entity.
God is an Impossibility to be Real
