Recent discoveries in developmental psychology and other behavioral disciplines have shown that babies are born with a first draft of a moral mind. Among others, brain scientist, Gary Marcus, has described this moral understanding as already defined and organized before experience. Evolutionary psychologist, Jonathan Haidt, describes this first draft of the moral mind as consisting of five primary values. Modern cross-cultural anthropologists point to these same five primary values as the foundation of all cultures, currently and historically, and 21st century ethologists suggest the same values apply to most if not all species.
