Do morals have no human origin?

What is the meaning of the very act of valuing? 

Does it point back to another, metaphysical world, In short: what is its origin? Or had it no human "origin"?—Answer: moral valuations are a sort of explanation, they constitute a method of interpreting.

So What is it that interprets?—Our passions
Formerly it was said of every form of morality, "Ye shall know them by their  fruits'

You look at the tree and you evaluate by its fruits

or you look at the tree and evaluate it by the soil in which it grew, "It is a fruit, and from it I learn the Soil out of which it grew."and then the climate
which nurtured it and so on and on back to the ;big bang'

Does this reductionist approach leave us immobilised like the rabbit frozen by headlights

What it does is steer us away from the shallow pronouncements on Morality.
