Frogs have instincts that help them survive, such as jumping away from danger, camouflaging to blend in with their surroundings, and hunting prey using their tongue. They also have a strong instinct for breeding and will migrate to water bodies to lay their eggs.

Do humans have instincts or is everything a result of our environment?

According to what scientists currently say, humans have no instincts.For example, baby sea turtles know to move toward the water from the shore where their eggs have been laid by nature. This is an INSTINCT. Humans, however, have no such natural behavior. All supposed instincts which some people may tell you, are not actually instincts, but simply learned responses to stimulus.Correct, most of those are reflexes; which are not the same as instincts.Humans DO NOT have instinct! We have response and learned response. Instinct does not exist in our DNA. As for babies squeezing a finger that is a response to something being in their hand. An instinct to squeeze a finger would mean that babies would run around and find a finger to squeeze and would not ever let go, unless forced. In which case they would then move on to another finger. As for "sucking" it is a response from their stomach being empty and telling the brain it is hungry. Read a book!The following comment supporting the idea that humans have instinct is wrong.[Sex is not a learned response. How did the first humans mate without the general knowledge of others? Because it's an instinct.]Hominids (the first humans), did have instincts, because their ancestors (primates) from which they evolved and were still closely linked DO have instincts. Hominids retained some of the instincts from their primate ancestors. However, MODERN DAY HUMANS DO NOT HAVE INSTINCTS. This is a scientifically proven fact that is irrefutable. Any other comments that humans do have instincts are simply misinformed opinion.-----Humans have lost instincts. Early hominids may have had instincts, for they were still somewhat closely related to primates, which do have instincts. However, modern day humans DO NOT have instincts.-----


Description of behaviors that are inherited?

Inherited behaviors are traits that are passed down from parents to offspring through genetics. These can include instincts like hunting or foraging skills in animals, as well as physical characteristics such as eye color in humans. Inherited behaviors are influenced by genetic material and are often seen across generations within a species.


Do humans and frogs share a common ancestor?

Not since the birth of vertebrates. Humans are mammals and frogs are amphibians. However, some research has shown that it is possible that some animals from different Orders have mated, so it is possible that we share a more recent ancestor. In response to demands that God made them and that's that, this is established biology. God may have made them, but that doesn't change the facts.


How did early humans know how to reproduce?

Early humans learned how to reproduce through observation of other animals mating and through their own instincts. Over time, they developed social structures and practices that supported mating and reproduction, leading to the passing on of this knowledge through generations.


What is human instinct?

Human instinct refers to inherent and innate behaviors or abilities that are unconsciously driven by survival and reproduction impulses. These instincts are deeply rooted in our evolutionary past and are often automatic responses to certain stimuli or situations. Examples include the fight-or-flight response and parental nurturing behaviors.
