Ok, I'll argue this.

Morality is subjective. Not only temporally, but even across modern day cultures and we are subjects of our environment and morality is learned, full stop.

No one is born in China, spontaneously starts speaking Farci.

We learn our morals from our surroundings. Some people may be genetically born more likely to be curious/moral or intellectually shut off/violent. But at the end of the day, we are all products of our environments. It was just a few hundred years ago when (besides the tech) people wouldn't be giving a shit about what's going on right now. And we are evolved from the better killers and/or those quicker to "jump the gun".

Doesn't make it right, but it is the way it is.
