Why are humans the only beings with a conscience?

Advertisements [?]

First let me say that I am a casual Christian who believes in evolution--although there are one or two claims that pose a problem for me.

That being said, when and why did apes go from being totally unconscientious beings to being able to discern right from wrong?

I ask because of something my pastor brought up at church the other day.

Just interested in hearing what everyone thinks :-)
