Exactly what the tendency to anthropomorphise is all about. Nothing to do with reality, but your requirement that morality is in "need" of a person. In reality, it needs no such thing.
You have a private feeling it is required, but lacks substance in terms of a persuasive argument through simple application of simplicity. There are many more likely reasons for the development of social consensus on behaviour.. especially in a fully sentient intelligent animal congregation.
