Edwards Cellular Morality

This paper proposes a naturalistic, evidence-based framework for understanding human morality—The Edwards Cellular Morality Theory. The theory posits that morality is not divinely mandated nor entirely subjective, but emerges as an adaptive behavior rooted in the same survival logic that governs cellular biology. By framing moral impulses as evolutionary strategies that enhance the survival and stability of biological systems, this theory provides a testable and parsimonious explanation for why humans experience moral instincts, agreements, and prohibitions.
