Explain the difference between instincts and complex behaviors.
1. Instincts are present from birth and do not need to be learned or improved. Complex behaviors are also present from birth but must be practiced and improved upon.
2. Instincts can occur in multiple different species. Complex behaviors are unique to one species only.
3. Instincts can be honed and improved upon. Complex behaviors, due to their difficulty, can never be improved on.
4. Instincts are common to all members of a species. Complex behaviors can only be done by certain elite members of a species.
5. Instincts are automatic and involuntary responses to stimuli, while complex behaviors involve decision-making and problem-solving processes.
6. Instincts are genetically programmed and predetermined, while complex behaviors are influenced by learning, experience, and environmental factors.
7. Instincts are generally simple and predictable, while complex behaviors are unpredictable and can vary depending on the situation.
8. Instincts are essential for survival and reproduction, while complex behaviors are often more flexible and can serve a variety of purposes.
9. Instincts are typically fixed and hard-wired, while complex behaviors can be adaptive and evolve over time.
