The premise is quite weird, because we're not "cut out". We've evolved, and still evolving.

The best thing evolution did to us is to make a lot of our behaviors learned. So how we perceive morality is something we can learn, and we can pass onto generations, basically recreating the concept of evolution through culture, at a much faster pace.

The article claims we need to give up tribalism to get there. I disagree. Tribalism is a powerful instinct that can be used for good or bad. We need to stick with tribalism, but make everyone part of the same tribe.
