Instinct is defined as :
An inborn pattern of behavior that is characteristic of a species and is often a response to specific environmental stimuli.
A powerful motivation or impulse.
An innate capability or aptitude: an instinct for tact and diplomacy.
Seeing and learning negates instinct.. the two are incompatible.
Nit-picking aside, I don't know if Towny wishes to begin the whole "stone age man/apes" debate.
... but we'll see.
