What I believe is innate is our social drive, our need to live in contact with other humans. This need forces us to learn and adopt principles and specific rules to govern our relations with other human beings; we call the principles "morals" and the rules "laws". Both are our own creations; we created them because we need them to live together. We also create devices to compel people to comply with them: police and courts to deal with offenders, and Gods and religions to scare people into not offending.

Morality and law are in a continuous state of evolution and refinement. Many principles that were once hailed as right and just a few hundred or a few dozen years ago (slavery, the subjugation of women, etc.) are no longer accepted, and the rules based on these principles have changed. Some things that were once not accepted now are.
