Actually, that is completely incorrect. Genes that promote what we call "morals" are favored by evolution because they are more likely to survive. Think about it: If we all went around killing each other, our genes wouldn't get very far. By working to help each other, our own genetic information is more likely to survive and be passed on. It is, of course, much more complicated that this, but you get the general idea.
