"Reasoning at every step he treads, Man yet mistakes his way, While meaner creatures, whom instinct leads, Are rarely known to stray."

Instinct is the inherent inclination of a living organism towards a particular complex behaviour, containing innate (inborn) elements. The simplest example of an instinctive behaviour is a fixed action pattern (FAP), in which a very short to medium length sequence of actions, without variation, are carried out in response to a corresponding clearly defined stimulus. People also have instincts.
