If we’re talking survival of the fittest here, I can’t see how adhering to moral codes could have outweighed the advantage (for men) of committing adultery, rape, stealing, and murder.
Such men could never be accepted in any kind of mass society. Everyone’s in favor of stealing—until it comes to their own stuff. The only way to keep other people off of your stuff is to lay off their own.
I doubt adultery would be a meaningful concept in a world where rape was permitted. Why would the concept of marriage exist?
