I would be more surprised if morality wasn't rooted in the brain! The biggest issue I have with this article is the vague notion of morality discussed. There's a deeper problem revolving around what morality is in human life, ie, what it means to be moral, something philosophers have been debating for centuries and indeed still debating to this day. This article actually implicitly assumes that morality is traceable to evolutionary forces in our past that supported the species' survival, but it's important to understand that due to the faculty of reason in our species, biological forces no longer have ultimate control of us, and morality in this sense could re-defined in ways that accord with our perception of the world we live in, freeing us from of the shackles of our instincts.
