Show me a society. God, do you need everything spelled out to you. There have always been kind, moral people,, but I am talking about the evolution of morality.

There was not a single society on earth prior to 1700 that had the advanced morality you see today.

And in those days the church reigned supreme and the intellectuals had to fear for their lives.

<<

Show me one place on earth that had current ideas of morality before 1700!

That doesn't serve as an argument for your point. The passage of time != formal schooling. There were educated people with many years of schooling before 1700, there are plenty of people with little or no formal schooling in 2018.
