Saying that “right = human” is to deny the idea of moral progress. If what the human thing to do can change over time, and what is right doesn’t change, then they can’t be the same thing.
Slavery was once very human. I think many of us (though not the relativists) would reject the claim that because it was human, it was also right. It was always wrong, regardless of how common.
