03 Mar 10 Learn something new no.1 – The list of human instincts | #LearnSomethingNew

Recently I came to a realisation that: All knowledge is free via the web. Yet I waste my time on trivia and useless social media. Note to self: Learn something new online each day.

And I thought I would start by learning about humans

Adapted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instinct

You can take all sorts of angles on this and get very academic about it. I have taken no side in this, I have just lumped them all together:

• Sex (life instinct)
• Aggression (death instinct)
• Reflexes (such as the Babinski Reflex fanning of the toes when the foot is stroked)
• Sleeping
• Altruism
• Disgust
• Face perception
• Language acquisitions
• Fight or flight
• Subjugate or be subjugated
• Fairness
