It seems necessary to strengthen my reply to
Unless an individual had an ethical system which is "people should behave in accordance to any human universals and all other behaviors are ethically neutral" the fact that there are human universals doesn't have any particular impact on the claim. Given that a priori humans can't be going against human universals that particular special case is basically pointless.
I think I'm confused about what your actual claim was. It seemed to be that human universals have nothing to do with ethics. But it's easy to show that some things that are putatively human universals have something to do with ethics, and a lot of the relevant people think putative human universals have a large role in ethics.
Was it just that ethics is not equivalent to human universals? If so, I agree.
