How is arguing that morality is secondhand adaptationist? Isn't it the contrary? Or I'm misunderstanding? Haven't read the paper yet.

It depends on the reasons why it's being argued that it's secondhand. I could be misconstruing what GB is saying, but it seems to me he is taking an adaptationist approach. In other words, if morality had benefits for survival (an adaptation) he wouldn't call it secondhand. But because it doesn't (according to him) it is a secondhand emergence of something else that does benefit survival.

The emphasis on adaptation (it's presence or absence) is why I labeled it adaptationist.
