A major part of Darwin’s book is this:

  1. Any trait that does not vary in a current population will also not vary among its past ancestors nor its close relations.

  2. Conversely, any trait by which an existing creature differs from a near relative or its recent ancestors must also vary among the currently-existing population.

Morality clearly falls into the latter category. We differ in our moral intuitions from chimps, and we thus differ in our moral intuitions from other extant relatives
