In this paper I ask whether sympathy, solidarity, and empathy are hard wired in our human brain. I will discuss one the thesis of evolutionary ethics, that is, that empathy and sympathy are innate. I ask whether these are natural /innate features of human beings and other animals, such as primates. I investigate whether there is a natural altruistic behavior and a natural tendency to solidarity. I claim that we have already sufficient empirical data to accept one aspect of an evolutionary ethics, which claims that at least some features of our morality, comes to us naturally.
