If human perceptions of morality never changed our species would still own slaves and women could not vote, and gays in the west would have far less rights or be oppressed like other parts of the world.
Morality is not in a label or a patent and is always a point of view issue. What is important is our species ability to question how we interact with each other, by allowing that challenge we can seek to improve the human condition and gain more understanding that we are not a separate species.
Our species evolved to be both compassionate and cruel, so "morality" to me can only be described as leaning to doing the least amount of harm to another human and maximize cooperation and understanding through education and empathy.
We see in other primates acts of empathy, especially for their young. Even with our pets, if you get a puppy and kitten at the same time and raise them together, although different species, because they have interaction at a young age they are familiar with each other and are far more likely to get along.
So the best "morality" to me is to expose yourself to as much of the world as you can and be as educated as you can. I think the worst thing my species does is try to push ideologies as cures and religions as cures and economic views as cures as absolutes. The truth is there is no perfect cure, but our species, no matter our differences still require resources and have no choice but to interact with each other.
