That's quite the straw-man you managed to create there out of my arguments.
Biological imperatives would apply in terms of the species - these are the qualities the species might need to survive.
Wiggle room, if you like, is provided by "naturally inclined to" for the individual. Further you have ignored my allowance for higher centres of the brain to over-ride programming - which covers all of your examples of how you might assess a given individual.
No problem with the summary so we got to the same point. I expressed it as "At its most basal level its going to be very hard to differentiate ethics and morality from instinct."
What you haven't addressed, however is my last statement "If we accept that instinct is pre-programming then fundamentals of ethics morality may well be too."
Note the use of the word - fundamentals.
