Natural selection works for the tribe also.According to Dawkins, natural selection works at the level of the individual organism, not the tribe, nation, or civilisation. Thus evolution only works on some individual when it confers advantage to that individual. If some civilisation survives the dog-eat-dog, devil-take-the-hindmost Darwinian competition for land and resources, that is an accidental benefit to the individuals comprising it, that owes nothing to evolution.

If a bird's peak could not pick up food, that type of bird will eventually die.
All of them, because they could not get nourishment.
Anyway, I wasn't discussin Dawkins or Darwin.
What I was asking you had to do with morals.
My question was:
If God was removed from the picture and our morals depended only on our own idea,
1. Who would be in charge of the legality of morals?
2. How many generations do you think it would take before the lack thereof (based on God) caused chaos?
I had mentioned Harris because he believes we could remove God, still have morals to obey, but never says who or how they would be implemented.
IOW, I don't believe we could have an objective moral compass without God.
