Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
The Gattaca world doesn't seem like a nightmare distopya to me. Sure the genetically unengineered are an underclass who have to do janitorial work, but the society seems better overall than the society we have now. Then again, maybe the Gattacaverse was never meant to be a nightmare future, just a flawed one.

Also, whatever combination of psychological traits that the filmmakers are calling the "human spirit" undoubtedly has a genetic component.
