The basic is the life instinct – all other instincts or are artificially developed by the person (conditional instincts), or private (hunger, sexuality, protection). All living beings are under control of instincts. Birds fly away to south countries with approach of fall and come back in the spring. The hare watchfully nibbles a grass on a clearing, keeping the eyes open in case of predators. People have insuperable desire of reproduction and reproduction.
The instinct of life is put by the nature not only in people, animals and plants – but even in minerals.
Instincts are formed in the course of heartrending life experience of fight for survival which our ancestors inherited from the ancestors. Similar fight is impossible without pain, fear and violence therefore consciousness gradually forced out this negative emotional experience in subconsciousness where it turned into deep genetic memory. This memory allows living beings to use heritage of this experience, saving and prolonging the life full of dangers.
Instinct components

This behavior consists of unconditioned or conditioned reflexes which are put in genes or were developed in the course of education. Instinctive the movement people or animals carry out all with unconscious alarm, having prepared for violence and pain. The baggage of animal experience which is represented by instincts collected each look during millions of years of evolution. The nature programmed in a gene pool of living beings all necessary instincts and reflexes which allowed them to survive and help to survive to the posterity. Instinctive mind whereas the mind conscious is responsible for the relations in society is responsible for biological survival, and the mind nadsoznatelny promotes evolution of the ordinary person in the superhuman being.
