Regardless, the concept of good and evil is all relative much like the concept of morality. There are still practicing cannibal tribes in obscure parts of South America. We view human sacrifice as evil and cannibalism as just as bad but in their society it is acceptable. You see what I mean?

I'm not saying that all humans grasp Good and Evil but they all have the ability to. You are making chimpanzee's laws more complex than they really are. They are nothing more than if you kill one of us we'll kill one of you ideology. That doesn't mean they grasp what is Good or Evil to any extent, they are just retaliating to survive. I have not seen any evidence of one Chimp hating another because he killed an unrelated Chimp.
