Your assumption here is that there is an objective moral standard that transcends time and cultures. If we are honest with ourselves, I think we have to say that there is absolutely no evidence of that.
Our ancestors that raped, pillaged and subjected were only "bad" by our modern western standards.

Raped, pillaged
I couldn't help but immediately think of Hannibal Burress' bit on rape and pillage
"What's pillaging? Idk I thought we were focusing on the rape"

when rape was smiled upon by all, propelled by no internal moral nature, started down the path to our "modern Western standards" for what reason exactly?
