520			_aThis article is concerned with the necessity of ethics and morality in social and public life. In this humble endeavour, ethics and morality have been explained and analysed on the basis of bio-evolutionary, socio-biological and cultural theories. The article thoroughly denies the normative abstraction of ethics and morality on the basis of subjective speculations as suggested in the traditional-classical and also in modern-philosophical theories. It attempts to objectify ethics and morality to a workable extent so that the utility of ethics and morality cannot be denied in social and public perspective all in the name of so abstract ideas that cannot be actualised. Finally the article concludes that it is our biology that leads us to accept ethics and morality as an objective refer ant in the context of social, political and general public life, since biologically we are designed so. Otherwise, even the survival of human being will come under question.
