Hello,





To eat, to mate, to fear...

';In humans





Some sociobiologists and ethologists have attempted to comprehend human and animal social behavior in terms of instincts. Psychoanalysts have stated that instinct refers to human motivational forces (such as sex and aggression), sometimes represented as life instinct and death instinct. This use of the term motivational forces has mainly been replaced by the term instinctual drives.





Instincts in humans can also be seen in what are called instinctive reflexes. Reflexes, such as the Babinski Reflex (fanning of the toes when the foot is stroked), are seen in babies and are indicative of stages of development. These reflexes can truly be considered instinctive because they are generally free of environmental influences or conditioning.





Additional human traits that have been looked at as instincts are: sleeping, altruism, disgust, face perception, language acquisitions, ';fight or flight'; and ';subjugate or be subjugated';. Some experiments in human and primate societies have also come to the conclusion that a sense of fairness could be considered instinctual, with humans and apes willing to harm their own interests in protesting unfair treatment of self or others.[1][2]





Many scientists consider that it is instinctual in children to put everything in their mouths, because this is how they tell their immune system about the environment and the surroundings, what the immune system should adapt to.[3]





Other sociologists argue that humans have no instincts, defining them as a ';complex pattern of behavior present in every specimen of a particular species, that is innate, and that cannot be overridden.'; Said sociologists argue that drives such as sex and hunger cannot be considered instincts, as they can be overridden. This definitory argument is present in many introductory sociology and biology textbooks,[4] but is still hotly debated.';





Cheers,





B.What are some of the natural instincts humans have?
This is debated and every time someone comes up with a list, it gets shot down by some other expert. I would say, to communicate, be curious, to see beauty/ugliness, to share/help (at least a little), try to survive, for own children to be precious, to believe in a higher power (not everyone), to cover the body, to have some sense of right and wrong, to judge, to hope (has to do with survival), to look for improvements (not everyone), body functions, of course, are more than instinct but you could add sex here perhaps. Some of these overlap and there are some I may have forgotten.
Eat, sleep, sexual stimulation, survival, etc.





You can keep going on, but at some point, it becomes apparent that labeling specific behaviors as ';instincts'; makes it increasingly obvious that picking apart human behavior is misguided.
