Like I said though, good, evil, right, wrong, moral, immoral... it's all relative.

you should also look into jane Goodall and the studies that she did on primate behaviour and social structures. Or Even Frans de Waal. He's got some good stuff too.

Probably. And yeah I used to read about Jane Goodall, it is pretty interesting stuff. I still do not believe Apes have nearly the same thinking process as humans in terms of morality, but I think they are closer than any other of species no doubt.
