BIOLOGY AND BREEDING Humans, like all creatures, have urges which lead to reproduction. Our biological urge is to have sex, not to make babies. Our “instinct to breed” is the same as a squirrel’s instinct to plant trees: the urge is to store food, trees are a natural result. If sex is an urge to procreate, then hunger’s an urge to defecate.

Instinct Theory Of Motivation This claim means that all humans have the same motivations due to our similar biological programming. This theory says that the root of all motivations is the motivation to survive. From our motivation to survive, all other motivations emerge. And, as we act or behave with this kind of motivation, all our actions are therefore considered as instincts.

If there’s competition for survival and not all the organisms are the same, then the ones with the advantageous traits are more likely to survive.

Primal Instincts ? What do they mean ? Our primal instinct is our response to certain situations that have been learnt throughout our evolution that our minds have kept in order to survive. For example, every time you jump when someone scares you is a primal instinct. Our mind responds to a sudden fear by jumping because such a reaction usually saved our ancestors lives. It was an immediate response that allowed them to jump out of dangers way.
