Biology and ethics define what "ought to be" and "what is". Biology being innate, represents what "is" as we were created that way. Ethics are what "ought to be" such as prescriptions or guidelines of how we should behave in everyday social situations. They work together to form a person's morality. We generally base our concept of what "ought to be" off of our biological initiative and conceptions. Many laws and rules are simply progressions of older laws and they continue to work on them moving forward through time in order to form a perfect society. All of these stem from the first set of rules which was thought of by a group. of individuals that must've had an innate conception of how to be, therefore foreign the concept of "morality".
