Captain Chaos, you also are taking liberties with the term "instinct." What are human natural "instincts" agreed upon by sociologists or anthropologists? I think you will find pretty unagreed upon thoughts oN the issue.
Surely you don`t mean "behaviour," do you? If so, human behaviour is influenced by much more than just our hard wiring.
Take a look at this thought on the propensity for humans to murder:
Killer instinct, in human behavior, is a reference to the human propensity to kill, murder. It may also refer to killing an opponent in a less literal sense (ie-I'm gonna kill him/her).
This instinct can either be a natural inclination, or a programmed response. In the case of inclination, one feels the inner need or desire to harm or kill another for no apparent reason (otherwise perfectly calm and lucid).
