Is it your contention that human morality has been one way in all places and at all times, or that we yoyo?
I am still waiting to see which moral tenet you see as having changed.
We still follow our instincts as far as I can see, as we either cooperate or compete, as required or desired.
If you do not follow a reciprocity tenet as your first presentation, what tenet do you start with?
