Abstract
From the ancients to the moderns, concerning philosophers, the problem of ethics and morality has been assumed as a construct of human reason and reason alone, without considering the biological condition embodied by man himself. Based on Dominique Lestel's text "The Animal Origins of Culture" (2001), I will try to show that the ethical and moral constructs of human behavior are authentic expressions of an animal species with a particular genetic affinity that are expressed in specific events and situations of its social world, that reasons of institutional normative order do not mediate the basis of ethical and moral behavior, and that human morality and ethics is proper to our animality and not to culturally human order.
