THE INSTINCT OF ANIMALS AND HUMANS
The instinct in classical sciences like biology was defined as the innate ability of a species to survive and avoid dangerous stimuli. From the point of view of the humanities, instinct is a thinking complex and not a separate genre feature. Man is not entitled to arbitrarily determine that animals do not think but only have an instinct. Both humans and other species think and have an instinct. Sometimes a dolphin has a lower self-preservation instinct than a human, but thinks more intelligently than many of us. Sometimes a man has better ideas to protect himself from dangers than a dolphin, but he does not sense their timing. We all have a tendency to think and instinct, we all develop and use them in different ways.
