Instinctive basis of human behaviour
Instinct is an inborn program of behavior. To start operating brains need programs how to recognize tasks and how to solve them, how to study and what to learn. Animals are born with great quantity of very complicated and delicate programs. They transmit with genes from generation to generation; they are being created by the natural selection which is endlessly and differently combining simple blocks of these programs into new systems. Combinations are being tested in lifes, in happy and unhappy lifes of millions of individuals. Not successful programs are taken out of evolution through the death of the defected individual, successful ones are breeding... Instincts are developing quite slowly, the same slowly as new organs and after they are not needed any more their destruction or modification also goes the same slowly. Not faster than morphological tools like number of fingers, form of the beak, form and number of teeth (“Naughty child of the Biosphere”, Dolnik, 2009).
Our ancestors were same rich in instincts as all other animals. Many instincts which were inherited by humans are not destroyed, more over they will never disappear, because they are needed as the basis of a new rational activity. It developed not on the empty place, but on the basis of inborn programs. (“Naughty child of the Biosphere”, Dolnik, 2009). Further there is a short list of examples of such instincts.
The instinct of collecting, It contains in it the endevour of searching, classification, learning which award us with a gladness of satisfaction. This instinct expresses not only in collecting of the gift of Nature. It is in the passion of a collector, in the passion of a zoologist and botanist to collect and classify the collections of plants and animals, in a tireless thirst of a geologist for completion of the collection of minerals (“Naughty child of the Biosphere”, Dolnik, 2009).
Love to the native land - The love to the place where the one was born and spent his childhood is based on the ancient instinct… The same can be seen in the animal world - the image of the place is printed in the memory of a brain (“Naughty child of the Biosphere”, Dolnik, 2009).
The passion for travelling There are settled and nomadic nations (“Naughty child of the Biosphere”, Dolnik, 2009).
Some people have passion for hunting, but there are no inborn programs of hunting (“Naughty child of the Biosphere”, Dolnik, 2009).
The passion to farming Gradual transition from collecting of Nature’s gifts to the conscious farming also didn’t happen without any instinctive reason. The instinct of hiding of fruits and seeds there is among many species of animals (“Naughty child of the Biosphere”, Dolnik, 2009).
Love to dogs also is based on the ancient instinct, developed on the basis of long co-evolution of humans and dogs (“Naughty child of the Biosphere”, Dolnik, 2009).
Basic moral of many species includes the ban to cause harm to those who trust them. For the primitive men a dog wasn’t just a strange caprice, it was necessary for survival. The cattleman of the past found in a dog of hunters one more useful feature, its hunting instinct to drive herds can be easily substituted by the pastoral behavior through the special training. And dog was very useful there. Only farmer didn’t need a dog so much, but still he might need it just for guarding. Interestingly that proverbs of hunters and farming tribes about dogs are different. Hunters and cattlemen usually remember a dog in a good way, but in proverbs of farmers usually their fate is not so successful (“Naughty child of the Biosphere”, Dolnik, 2009).
Love to Nature. The hunter, collector or a farmer of the past were natural members of ecosystems. Seems so that their influence on nature and they didn’t need any taboo, protecting Nature. Moreover if humanity had strong taboos about using of natural resources it wouldn’t be able to develop so much. During evolution a natural selection was going in order to define those who could take care about Nature. For example if they destroyed food resources they died of starvation… (“Naughty child of the Biosphere”, Dolnik, 2009).
Sexual behavior of humans is mostly defined by inborn instincts. Some of them are acceptable for nowadays society, and some atavistic programs are not acceptable although they also influence on human behavior in this sphere. If we totally followed our instincts our behavior would have been very wild, primitive, rude, egoistic and just awkward. Although some people behave like this, the majority correct this defects of this inborn programs and quite successfully (“Naughty child of the Biosphere”, Dolnik, 2009).
So Homo sapiens sapiens doesn’t appear in the world not knowing about it anything. He is born with definite programs of behavior in this world. He has a great collection of advices tested through millions of generations of his ancestors in a kaleidoscope of situations.These few examples are from a Russian book “Naughty child of the Biosphere”, Dolnik, 2009 here there is a more detailed review about instincts http://www.zo.utexas.edu/courses/Thoc/HumanInstincts.html.
Among our instincts there are such programs without which the world and our society would have become better, first of all that is a notorious aggressiveness of human beings. I want to discuss particularly this instinct because it is the basis of hierarchic structures in society and can become the basis for creation of tyranny. In the animal world aggressiveness is used to substitute physical fight which can cause wounds and death by psychological fights. In this case sometimes wins not the stronger individual, but that who can threaten often and for a long time, who can come to the rage fast and easily. The looser, whose psyche couldn’t resist for such long time, to calm the aggressor, takes the pose of obedience, opening the most vulnerable parts of its body for the strike. When aggressor sees the pose of obedience he calms down and can substitute real beating by ritual, for example he can pull rival’s hair, to flap with his pad, to push, to pinch or to defecate... The great positive meaning of these disgusting scenes is that cruel fighting between congeners is substituted by psychological duel.
Among animals usually well armed species have strong morality. So what does animal morality mean? Animal morality contains created by natural selection inborn taboo to follow usual in some cases programs. Don’t kill congener is the first rule in many species. Humans are very less armed naturally: two men fighting barehanded are not deadly dangerous for each other. In a fight one of them will get tired and give up before the rival will kill him . That’s why people as many other less armed animals don’t have any restrictions on deeds in a fight. They were not needed. But humans invented weapons and became the unique creature on the Earth: they kill each other. The lack of such restriction people are trying to compensate by upbringing.

Humans, same as many other collective species, have hierarchy. The differentiation of individuals in the level aggressiveness leads to the creating between them relationship of collateral subordination or hierarchy. The dominant or the most aggressive individual suppresses others. It maintains and strengthens its position through provoking fights with others and terrorizing them, suppressing their psyche. Aggressiveness suppressed towards the dominant demands to be discharged, so they do it by suppressing weaker individuals. This chain of suppression goes to the lowest level until it reaches the weakest abandoned individuals, suppressed by whole group.

Hierarchical organization of a group was discovered by the natural selection very long time ago; aggressiveness and collateral subordination is quite popular among birds and mammals, among amphibians and reptiles and also present among many invertebrates. While talking about evolution involuntarily we imagine natural selection as some wise and kind power. That’s why after coming across with inhumane decisions we protest. But actually natural selection is soulless and pitiless statistical machine and it doesn’t have any humane principles. If on the basis of collateral subordination was found the possibility to build well-ordered relationships from which the population in general wins it will be used.

The origin of religions can be explained also on the basis of instincts. The pyramid with several individuals on the top seems to be not completed; there should be one more level above hierarchs, the level of superhierarch. In the animal world this possibility is not realized. Only for dogs it realizes for leaders superhierarch is their owner. There is nothing genius that everywhere in human society appeared the aidea to put on this vacant place something imaginary and which has all super dominant qualities in limitless expression. Once it is done hierarchs become subdominants of super hierarch, its priests and he becomes their powerful protector from the rest of the group (“Naughty child of the Biosphere”, Dolnik, 2009).
This book explains our instinctive behavior very interestingly, but unfortunately author makes a conclusion about impossibility for human species to change themselves and to train instincts in order to create more harmonic, wise and kind society, where everybody will be able to develop his talents and work as per these talents not for money but for people around, for future. And by the way, for that it’s not necessary to take all property, and make people similar… Nevertheless it is mentioned that people have altruistic programs also. Author suggests that there shouldn’t be crowd without rights and anything and hierarchs which has everything and I agree. But he suggests democracy as alternative; well somehow it also doesn’t work. Anyways we can see that almost in all countries governments are corrupted and small groups of people occupies governments. Why? We can see all disgusting instincts on the global scale…
Now the time has come to tell about INFERNO PHENOMENON…
