Human culture is a manifestation of human nature at the level of society. And, human nature is universal to all humans.
This is why *all* human cultures are, more or less, the same. There are many cultural universals, which torturing a baby to death probably falls under.
But what truly defines "human nature"? Just because you see it in most human populations does not mean that it is necessarily universal in the human species. That would be like saying "Firefox is a part of all computer nature" because we see them in practically all computers today, but god knows someone can come up with a computer that is incompatible with Firefox. Will that mean that that computer isn't really a "computer"?
Are certain things INTRINSICALLY right/wrong?

What is right or wrong depends on the culture. And even within a culture there will always be exceptions.
