A wiring that grants a disposition to learning something like morals to further our social evolution- would be the exact way I'd put it- and since you are speaking of an area as fuzzy wuzzy as sociology/philosophy "proof" really doesn't mean much- to me. And by WHOM is it generally accepted? I don't think we've read the same "whoms".

My statement is generally accepted. If this is the statement you mean: "history shows that morality evolved out of religious values" I can't imagine anything less generally accepted. What we call "morality" is simply a set of rules that humans have found it expedient to adopt to make it easier for them to live together. What we call "religion" is something we created to convince people to follow those rules, even when it is more personally expedient not to.
