Hitchen’s concedes that without an external moral definition, morality is a construct that is defined by humans.

Thats not really a concession. Of course morality is defined by humans, on two levels: One, morality is what applies to humans. If we were different— if we didn’t feel, say, envy, morality would be changed. Two, morality is construction by humans based on first principles that humans hold dear; most of the struggle over morality is whether reduction of suffering, increase of happiness, or maximization of individual free will is the most moral thing.
