Who needs a study to determine that? The origin of morality isn't mysterious at all. Morality originates in self-interest. Most people don't want to be murdered or robbed, so murder and robbery come to be considered, by the public as taught by their philosophers, immoral. A society's philosophy usually becomes enforced by the criminal law, but the original principles are moral values.
Morality is entirely subjective. What's moral today wasn't moral in times past, and what's moral somewhere else is immoral here---and vise-versa. Only the provincial bigot thinks he and his society have the market cornered on morality. The ancient Greeks were deeply concerned with issues of morality, as were Buddha and Confucius.
