	Instinct - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Instinct is the inherent disposition of a living organism toward a particular behavior.
		Instincts are generally inherited patterns of responses or reactions to certain kinds of stimuli.
		Instinct provides a response to external stimuli, which moves an organism to action, unless overridden by intelligence, which is creative and hence far more versatile.

	The Language Instinct - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In it, Pinker argues that humans are born with an innate capacity for language.
		By calling language an instinct, Pinker means that it is not a human invention in the sense that metalworking and even writing are.
		Pinker explains that a universal grammar represents specific structures in the human brain that recognize the general rules of other humans' speech, such as whether the local language places adjectives before or after nouns, and begin a specialized and very rapid learning process not explainable as reasoning from first principles or pure logic.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Instinct
		Human instincts are habits, acquired or inherited from previous generations; animal instincts are purposive adaptations of voluntary action to the conditions of life.
		It is true that instinct causes the newly born babe to seek its mother's breast and to perform sundry other necessary functions, but many of the instincts make their appearance for the first time in the appropriate phase of neural and mental development.
		These instincts cannot be neglected or they will run wild and produce their crop of undesirable results; they cannot be suppressed indiscriminately, because they are the native roots on which all habits that are of enduring strength in human life are grafted.

	Human Instinct
		Human Instinct is a continuation of the group, the Four Fours.

		By the time the sessions were finished, the Human Instinct had moved on to a new residency at Crofts and there style of music had changed, along with new members in the band.

		Human nature as 'the human personality' is an open natural system which is subjected to the forces of a changing environment and can only be understood from the perspective of systems approach and 'systems thinking' of systems theory....
		The aim of human life is the unfolding of human powers according to the laws of the human growth or 'human nature'.

	The Meaning of Life by Scott Biss (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The balance of natural instinct and human reason is a large basis for my philosophy of life; a life that is lived, like David Hume's ideal, as a common life.
		If a supernatural instinct is required to have supernatural faith, then the question arises as to whether or not humans possess this instinct.
		Reason and natural instinct are fully bound to the natural world, which leads to the conclusion that a supernatural instinct is required to have supernatural faith in the existence of God and universal or divinely-ordained morality.

		Man is a male human being and woman is a female human being.
		Humans have an erect body carriage that frees their upper limbs for manipulating objects and a highly developed brain capable of abstract reasoning, speech, language, and introspection.

	'Human Instinct' leads inquisitive minds on a contemplative journey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		But the more of "Human Instinct" one sees, the more apparent it becomes that, while instinctive behavior is rooted in the distant past of homo erectus, it's not far-fetched to think that recent influences can't play a part.
		Happily, "Human Instinct" trades in less discouraging currency, even when noting that we're competitive by nature, that victory is sweeter than defeat because when we're beating an opponent, endorphins course through our bodies, blocking pain and making us feel euphoric.
		The four parts of "Human Instinct" -- two airing tonight and two tomorrow -- are titled "Born To Survive," "Deepest Desires," "The Will To Win" and "Natural Born Heroes." Each is enthralling, combining the spectacular photography, unusual experiments and inquisitive enthusiasm that distinguished the "Human Body" series.

		Regrettably, that aquatic instinct tells us nothing of the depth if the water in which some of our ancestors spent so much of their lives, and nothing definitive about interglacial islands.
		Approximately half of the physical characters that distinguish humans from chimpanzees fall into a category that biologists call 'neoteny', a type of paedomorphology (the retention of juvenile characters by adult descendants) which emerges with retardation of the ontogeny.
		Instinct generally serves poorly during [geologically] rapid changes, as from arboreal to aquatic and repeatedly from isolated island to continent and back.

	TheExperiment \| Articles => A Language Mind Special: Steven Pinker: 'Language Is a Human Instinct' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The view of language that suffuses public discourse — that people assume both in the sciences and in the humanities — is that language is a cultural artifact that was invented at a certain point in history and that gets transmitted to children by the example of role models or by explicit instruction in schools.
		They've suggested that language appeared as a by-product of the laws of growth and form of the human brain, or perhaps as an accidental by-product of selection for something else, and they deny that language is an adaptation.
		The impression from anthropology that humanity is a carnival where anything is possible came in part from a tourist mentality: when you come back from a trip, you remember what was different about where you went, otherwise you might as well have stayed at home.

	Hierarchical Instinct and Human Evolution. Socio-biological approach by Valery Chalidze, 1989 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Human populations, without understanding it, found a way to reduce the frequency of occurrence of the gene of strength, which seems to go counter to our ancestors' natural instincts geared toward increasing the frequency of this gene.
		It consitutes denial of one of the strongest instincts: the instinct of self-preservation.
		Humanity should be warned, however, that an unrestrained and persistent continuation of selection through genocide of violent criminals can inflict "genetic wounds" on the population, and create a deficit of the valuable genetic material that ensures activeness and leadership qualities.

	Instinct vs. Reason--A Black Cat
		The line which demarcates the instinct of the brute creation from the boasted reason of man, is, beyond doubt, of the most shadowy and unsatisfactory character--a boundary line far more difficult to settle than even the North-Eastern or the Oregon.
		The leading distinction between instinct and reason seems to be, that, while the one is infinitely the more exact, the more certain, and the more farseeing in its sphere of action--the sphere of action in the other is of the far wider extent.
		She, therefore, screws her body round so as to bring her hind feet immediately beneath the latch, while she leaps with all her strength from the door--the impetus of the spring forcing it open, and her hind feet sustaining the latch until this impetus is fairly given.

	The Third Culture - Chapter 13
		On the one hand, most people, after hearing evidence that language is an innate faculty of humans, would not be surprised to learn that it comes from the same source that every other complex innate aspect of the human brain and body comes from — namely, natural selection.
		I've particularly benefited from the position he developed with one of his graduate students, Paul Bloom, in a 1990 paper entitled "Natural Language and Natural Selection." They start with the standard MIT position that the language organ, as Chomsky has called it, is innate.
		It's amazing that you put a human on earth and three years later that human is speaking natural language.
