    the problem is that none of the traditional answers hold up if you are really critical.

    the culture relavist theory fails but the surface difference theory fails as well because the fact the it happens to be so that all the current cultures and as far as we know also the past cultures only differ on the surface this doesnt mean that a (human/reasonable) culture in which the morals are radically different could not exist

    then you have the veneer theory which is at war with the biology/social animal theory etc etc
