Does morality come with intelligence?

[Verruckter]

Since I was young I've been observing and studying my surroundings. I've watched and analysed other people's actions and I've heard and interpreted their words. I've elaborated my own perception of what the world is like. It's not a complete one, for it stops at my simple, North American culture, but I believe it's vast enough for me to come to certain conclusions, all of which I came to on my own.

Now, by watching people behave in an environment where social interaction is primordial, I've managed to make associations between intelligence and morality. I've always considered both to be strongly related. It's a two way reasoning, really:

Intelligence allows you to understand what's happening around you - It gives you judgement and perspective on certain things. It allows you to say "This is right" or "This is wrong", which is exactly where morality comes in. I define morality as something in which your "subconscious" (or whatever modern psychologists call it) is the main element. It will, without consciously making you think about it, stop you from doing something bad. The reason why you don't go out and kill someone is because a certain part of your personality (your subconscious) will stop you from doing so. In this sence, intelligence lets you gather data which will influence your subconscious. It will, indirectly, tell you how to behave.

Now, my question is, and I'm asking this because I'm curious, is it possible that there's another explaination? Is it possible that morality is acquired without cognitive, conscious reasoning? Is it part of our genes, or is it something compeltely different?
