it seems like, broadly speaking, people object most to mental traits being partly genetically determined. this would make sense if there's a dualist intuition at work: mental traits are "you", and you don't want restrictions on who you are. physical traits are "your body"

You suggest that the main objection to evolutionary determination is separation of mind and nature to give more freedom to normative frameworks?
