It would be better to overcome primitive traits in one's DNA by recognizing the more advanced side. You have to focus with a certain intention on your humanoid interior until you find that side. It's reported to give a tremendous feeling.
Compare it to a human being, who has less reptilian DNA, but more simian DNA. A human may have almost 99 % DNA of that of a chimpansee (eg. as a result his body has a lot of hair), but should he behave accordingly?
The same goes for a reptilian, who is more than the 1 or 2 % of DNA that comes from a reptilian animal.
