I think Dawkins answers this question fairly sufficiently when he posits that for human beings, the development of morality while living in small groups/societies was a survival advantage. Therefore, following Darwinian logic, those humans with the genetic structure to form brains that develop this sort of morality are more likely to survive and reproduce.
