There are plenty of animals who kill their own specie's babies (or their own babies), yet we don't think of them as cruel because we know that they don't know any better. We would not have the same leniency with people, because whether we know it or not, we do hold people to a higher standard. As we should.
And if the early humans knew nothing about God or sexual morality, they too would be held to a lower standard.
Curious that you fail to apply the same reasoning to the ancients and their standards for morality.
