If that were true, then all species would be highly social and cooperative. They are not. Clearly, there is no universal winning strategy from which can be derived any "objective morality". Being hostile loners work better for some species, cooporative living work better for others.
Our morality might actually threaten our species in the end . But don't worry a few selfish ones will survive. Then they , in time , will sucumb to those who co-operate and the beautiful ying and yang of survival will continue in the same way as it will always have done.
