Many claims that the availability of evolutionary explanations for human moral beliefs threatens the view that humans have moral knowledge. Peter Singer suggest that evolutionary explanations can debunk moral claims. Michael Ruse declares: "Morality is a collective illusion foisted upon us by our genes." Sharon Street and Richard Joyce have recently offered sustained evolutionary debunkings of morality. Proponents of such debunking endorse the following thesis: The Evolutionary Debunking Thesis (EDT): If S's moral belief that P can be given an evolutionary explanation, then S's moral belief that P is not knowledge.
