Instinct, like all evolved traits, is a result of natural selection. Individuals displaying a new useful trait in the phenotype are more likely to reproduce. Such alterations occur because the replication process is sensitive to environmental variation. Of course almost all replication errors, (mutations), don't result in useful change.
