What he said.

Although thinking about it, there probably are some morals which are genetically based. For example, finding infanticide immoral would be evolutionarily beneficial, since it means you're less likely to kill the means of propagating your genes. Social influences can overcome anything if they're strong enough, but I think genetics do play a large part in determining morality.
