In general I agree with you, but I would refrain from using evolution/DNA example. Because then it leads to 'social darwinism'.
Evolution does not mean 'more evolved is better' but rather 'more suited to the environment'.
Take psychopathy (or even apthy towards minority groups) as an example, in a capitalist system, psychopathy is more evolved because you get to climb the corporate ladder faster.
But this assumes that capitalism is unchanging, and final form of our society. But in reality, we can change the system. Under socialism or social democracy (with strict laws), psychopathy would no longer be 'more evolved'.
