instinct theory
instinct approaches to motivation are most apparent in the theory of evolutionary psychology, which suggests that motivations are driven by survival and reproduction instincts that have evolved over time.
Instinct theory is a theory that looks at motivation of people and animals. In instinct theory, behavior is motivated by instinct, which is ingrained in animals to help them survive.
its not really a matter of who "discovered" the instinct theory but who PROPOSED the instinct theory is what i think your question is asking in which case i believe the answer--if my memory serves me right-- is William McDougall
Instinct theory is a belief in psychology that instinct provides humans with the motivation to do certain actions and behave in a specific manner. Instinct theory was good at explaining why, for example, babies root onto their mother's nipple for milk. However, it didn't have much credence when it came to explaining our other behaviors. Instinct theory has been supplemented by drive-reduction theory, and arousal theory, both of which also try to explain motivation.
The survival instinct is spelled "self preservation".

The instinct for survival came from being on an island.
The duckling started swimming out of instinct when she followed the rest of the flock into the lake for the first time. Your instinct when you touch something very very hot is to move your hand right away without thinking.
