I thought he was talking about the underlying proclivity for morality- not the subjective cultural morality in to which a person is born. So there are two types of "morality" being discussed in the article. The underlying general and perhaps "wired in" morality, and the way culture imposes structure on that underlying predisposition.

It's like the ability infants have for language. Culture would effect what the infant says- in that the infant would learn the words and memes of the society in to which it was born, but culture does not create or influence the underlying predisposition, since that is inborn, and structural. That's what I thought he was saying.
