Are humans born with any instinct?
88014
Humans are born with the "rooting instinct" they open their mouths and turn their heads towards things that touch the cheek. They are searching for a nipple to latch on to and suckle.

Dogs work on instinct, while humans work on free-will.  You only have to use simple reinforcement on a dog, outside=good inside=bad, while with a kid you need to make them want to go.  It can be next to impossible to make someone want to do anything.

Some animals have only one partner their whole life (humans are more promiscuous than say penguins).\nSome animals live in society (some even are more organized than humans and do what they have to do).\nSome animals kill to eat (that includes humans).\n\nEvery animal behave according to their specie, so, it's a mistake to think a fish has to act like an ant, or that a human has to act like a lion. We are not vegetables, nor minerals, we are animals and animals do not behave like other animals of another specie.\n\nFear and anger are instincts. Try hitting someone and see if they'll be stoic waiting for your first and not even blink.\n\nWheter you believe in evolution or not, you can't deny instincts. I'm sure instincts can be accepted without evolution.

No one is born evil.\n\nYour idiocyncracies are taught to you.\nImpatience, abuse, temperment... All learned.\nFortunately, we can be cured of it through years of therapy.\n\nLove, support, and success are also learned.\nBut it's easier to understand and accept.

Absolutely, its a hormone/chemical thing like most living things experience. What seperates us though is our ability to reason and think through the consequences of our actions to avoid hurting not only others but ourselves.

Natural instinct. Humans need to realize that sex is just to reproduce, and we should not focus on it much. There are better  things to do: increase our knowledge, revolutionize technology, stop environmental problems are just a few.

Natural Instinct. Something like a sixth sense with me. I follow it and it always normally right. The question is are you spritual? For a lot a people that is a driving factor

Interesting puzzle:\nfMRI studies have shown that neurons in the brain associated with a task begin to fire about 800 milliseconds before the person is even aware that they want to perform an action.\n\nDo we have no free will? \n\n\nMed Hypotheses. 2001 Mar;56(3):364-6.\nIf there were no free will: Fisher CM.\n\n\nElectrophysiological findings in humans who are performing voluntary acts, indicate that the intention to act, follows brain activity rather than preceding it. This has implications for voluntary behavior and the doctrine of free will. This essay reviews the fields of human behavior, including medicine, in which this new thesis might have far-reaching significance. Copyright 2001 Harcourt Publishers Ltd.\n\nAn extract:\n\n...it should be pointed out\nthat somewhat the same conclusion may be reached on\nthe basis of rather elementary observation. Every thought,\nfeeling, inclination, intention, desire, every mental\nimpression no matter how brief or faint, must be created\nby nervous system activity. How else could they arise? Ideas would have to arise without a physical basis.\nNervous system activity must always precede. Every\nnuance of thought and feeling arises in and must be preceded\nby its own specific electrical configuration in the\nbrain. If one has the experience of ‘willing’ the nervous\nsystem to do something, the impression of ‘willing’ must\nhave been preceded by nervous system activity.\nOtherwise there would be no source and we are in the\nrealm of the supernatural. Before I think of anything, it\nmust first have taken form in my nervous system.\n\n\nTherefore: answer to your question would be 'nervous system activity'

When you were born does not determine your traits.  Heredity and environment determine your traits.  Astrology is mythology, and is useless in determine how a person will be, what will happen to them, or who they are compatable with.

What we are interested in, what drives us, what we enjoy and find important, are very rarely logical.  If we lived by logic alone, I doubt we would ever have made it down from the trees, let alone out of the caves.  Humans are driven to learn, for no really logical reason other than instinctive drive- Logic requires quantifiable results for definable problems.  Where is the logic in eating?  To stay alive?  Where is the logic in living?  There isnt any-we live because we want to, we have kids and love them because we want to, are driven to...we use logic to get us what we want-Logic is only one tool that slavishly serves our mindless and beautiful passions.  One of those passions is to learn and explore, so yes, its imminently logical.

No, because such an instinct would probably be genetic. If there was such an error, then those people would not reproduce and therefore would not pass on that gene! The gay "error" you're talking about is not the same because it is not actually genetic in the hereditary sense.

ok here is the honest answer...the theory of survival of the fittest. It is in our genes. It is based on the idea of the drive for the oontinuation of the species. This idea in our society seems out of place and it is but imagine how things were when humans were still primitive and living in the trees. The human female is only capable of getting pregnant a few days each month and then can usually only deliver one offspring. We are not the most prolific of creatures. Therefore the male had to be ready to go at almost any time to attempt reproduction. He had no understanding of the cycle and ovulation. Also probably half the babies concieved didn't survive. The human male had to be a sex machine in order to keep the species from extinction. Probably having sex a lot and with multiple females to achieve that end. That same instinct is still present in modern day males although we attempt to curb it through societal mores and values. But the urge still exists

It has never been proven whether language is a learned behavior or a natural tendency in human beings.  Regardless, no genes are tied to language - some do influence the capability to vocally speak though.  Interestingly enough, the Greeks believed that if you couldn't speak, you couldn't think.  In some ways, it is hard to imagine if it is possible to think without some kind of language element involved since it seems that all of our concepts are tied to a linguistic understanding - whether this language is vocal, sign, etc.\n\nEdit: To Agassi:  Agassi, you are completely misunderstanding what I'm saying, but I'll hold the fault of that to the limitations of the English language.  A PARTICULAR language may be learned culturally (i.e. "conditioning"), while language, in the GENERAL sense, may be a natural instinct (i.e. it is a natural, human yearning to communicate regardless of particular languages).  Hence the reason I used the term "language" as opposed to "a language."  In the French, it is the distinction between "langue" and "parole."  To simplify the question of language to "conditioning" cannot explain linguistic origins.  This is why some theorists say that we cannot ask the question of linguistic origins - because it throws their theories completely off and they cannot make sense of it.  Furthermore, with regards to the "part of the brain" comment - it has never been proven whether we affect the brain or the brain affects us.  It seems slightly more probable that we affect the brain, which would explain the increase in gray areas corresponding to the increase in learned languages.  This is why there are only theories pertaining to the acquisition of language.  To discredit what I say because you misinterpret is rather unfair.

Free will begins only when you start  making decisions for your self. I don't know why you would associate free will or the absence thereof to being born.

Think about cave people...  Sex is instinctual.
