This is a distraction. This whole conversation started talking about you not identifying as human, and me pointing out that human is just a biological category. To believe otherwise is to buy into propaganda written by humans directed and directed at other humans who's behavior they want to influence in some way. You still haven't actually countered this argument.
Though I will say you seem to be confusing natural selection, individual or group desires, and morality with each other. You need to get you're head straight on what the differences are before you start making arguments about morality. I would argue that objective morality doesn't exist. You're kind of right about how subjective morality came to be, but you might want to work on the details. Plenty of animals even on earth sacrifice themselves for their children, as the aim in natural selection isn't survival or the individual but survival of the genes. People have used this lens to explain things like racism and genocide as preserving people with similar genes to yourself, but I would have no idea if that is actually the case as I am not an evolutionary biologist.
