You can base morality on survival of the fittest especially if you evolve upon the idea a bit, wink wink, nudge nudge. It is hard to determine whether nature as a whole has morality. But humans are a part of nature and they have morality. So therefore nature has morality. As humans we live in large groups, morality is necessary as a part of the survival of the group. Humans wouldn't last long in groups if nobody had morality. Therefore, morality is a basic instinct. Even sardines don't go around killing each other, so I would wager that they have morality too, in their complex fish society.
