I found the article you posted extremely interesting, in discussions of "natural law" in relation to morality,  we often believe that overarching societal beliefs come out of necessity (if we don't believe it is morally wrong to kill, we can never reproduce our own society, etc)- so it seems rather remarkable that a moral interest in other humans would occur naturally as the article described (infants who whimper after hearing other infants cry). It seems that this would support the Emily Dickinson idea of the brain, if even morality is an organic, partially untrained trait.
