The topic isn't philosophical, it's about the claim of something being objective. Well, it isn't. You can try to argue that away, but good luck with that, given the fundamental changes the West alone has undergone in the span of 2000 years.
On the other hand, as I always keep saying, look at animals and what recent research tells us about their morality, if you want to call it that. The basics are the same as with humans, when it comes to social species. Which we are after all. I said this before ad nauseum. Living in a community requires certain rules. That's true for wolves as well as for humans.
