I suspect that human ethics transfer much faster memetically than genetically. In which case, their heritability is relatively unimportant. What matters is believability. It seems as though there will be a natural ebb and flow between ethics which propagate by defeating others, and ethics which propagate by convincing them. The equilibrium ethics will be somewhere in between, as I believe we observe for most real societies.
