Consciousness has nothing to do with instinct.

Consciously overriding instinct is the sole characteristic of higher intelligence; the development of a sense of responsibility outside one-self.

One could argue, then, that humans have no dominant instinct.

One could argue that having more instincts is the sole characteristic of higher intelligence.


I'm the thought that never crossed my mind.
