The idea that non-cultural evolution is responsible for all the earth's DNA seems like a fundamental misconception to me. In particular, our DNA is the product of gene-meme co-evolution - and something similar is probably true of many other animals. Evolution is responsible for the planet's DNA, not some cut-down version of evolution that excludes cultural inheritance. However, I observe that you don't seem very interested in this discussion - which is fine.
