Morality *can* be a learned behavior; however, activation of that
particular part of the brain is *not* a learnable behavior (for obvious reasons
-- see Michael Crichton's The Terminal Man) -- thus, the activation *is*
hard-wired by evolution (and is noteworthy as such because it furthers the
argument that evolution *has* selected for moral behavior).

The article seems to assume that just because a neural event can be detected
that accounts for a feeling people have, it must have been hard-wired by
evolution. Why can't morality be a learned behavior?
