"Wonder why she is not discussing the effects of intimidation"...

—Ayn Rand Lexicon
The essential characteristic of the Argument from Intimidation is its appeal to moral self-doubt and its reliance on the fear, guilt or ignorance of the victim.

Otherwise, blaming the DNA is an obvious avoidance of the issues being discussed... as your DNA doesn't have conscious agency...

And, really, the DNA did its job... by making your parents good enough to not get eaten by a dinosaur or a bear before reproducing ? Or, are you making a sociobiological argument that Rand is wrong because Darwinian natural selection requires morality exists as a "more fit" selector... rather than morality existing as a "more fit" selector because of our communal choices as a more fit society ? ;<)
