Re: Do Humans Have Instincts??

Our instincts are what keep us alive - the instinct to drink, to eat, to breathe, to procreate, to keep ourselves safe from harm, to sleep. These are not learned activities, they are voluntary (with the exception of sleeping and breathing), and all humans have these instincts. There are instincts on another level that are much easier to overcome with voluntary action/thought - the instinct to spit out bad tasting food/drink. The instinctive fear of falling (this is NOT a learned fear, although the fear of heights is). The instinctive reaction to a stressful situation, commonly called the 'fight or flight' response.
