I think wrong and right stems from how we would like others to treat us.

This stems from pain and emotion, which in term stems from evolution.

Evolution has selected for pain and emotion? How do they confer a selective advantage?

Surely any sick thing you can think of has been practised some some tribe or group somewhere over the course of history. Incest and indiscriminate killing are about the only wrongs I can immediately think of that would be selected against.
