Sure. Nothing is the same. Every animal is slightly different. As humans trying to understand the world with 3 pounds of meat, we abstract and group so we have a chance of dealing with the overwhelming complexity.

But I stand by my point. A moral sense is something that provably exists in a lot of social animals. Is it different in each species? Yes. Is it different in each individual? Surely. But unless you're going to claim that all of those animals are conscious, you can't say that consciousness is foundational to a moral sense. Indeed, I think the much easier argument is that a moral sense is foundational to evolving consciousness.

Why we should be reduce human morality to what can be "provably" found in other social animals? There are some rudimentary similarities, but those similarities do not circumscribe the entirety of human moral experience, not by a large stretch.

You're now arguing against things I didn't say, so I think I'll leave this discussion here.
