The Moral Argument

"There are recurring moral standards, that every group of people documented in 
history have held. These standards, though differentiate in details, are all based on the same foundational morals " - J Warner Wallace
For example, one does not have to be told that killing for amusement is wrong, everyone comprehends this. The same goes for what is right: assisting others is not perceived as a negative issue.
J Warner Wallace: “Humans throughout history have recognized the universal transcendent objective nature of a variety of moral codes even though some behaviors can be defended under certain circumstances”  
Geneticist Francis Collins states, “What we have here is very peculiar: the concept of right and wrong appears to be universal among all members of the human species . . . It thus seems to be a phenomenon approaching that of a law, like the law of gravitation or of special relativity”

How is it that this moral code came to be known to every human?

The practical answer is intelligent design by a divine creator.
