Furthermore, animals we are most similar to exhibit the same instincts. The behaviour of infant humans is very similar to the behaviour of infant monkeys.
Wait, hold the phone. You first claimed that instinct was a product of evolution, now you are saying that the animals that already had instincts survived and were preserved. So which is it? Did evolution produce instinct or merely just preserve it?
