That's not really true. I read a long time ago that human cultures develop in largely the same way with largely the same norms independent of outside influences.
Love is not a social construct. It is a biological imperative that is universal to humans. The only variation is how we are allowed and expected to display it. For example, some cultures are 'permitted' to be passionate and intense. Some cultures are expected to be publicly reserved. My own culture is somewhere in between.
There is comonality amongst humans, because even if you don't share the same exact values as a different culture you can often empathise and see that certain morals come from an identifiable wellspring of logic.
When i think about it there is not one culture that comes to mind that i think of as being completely alien.
I just don't think the conclusions you have reached are correct
