Do human beings have any proper natural instincts anymore, or is it all just learned responses and reflex?

Is there anything we can do without being taught first and learning by mistake? The only thing I can think of is sleeping. Is sleeping a real natural instinct?

Yes we have many. Most are pretty small things like the reflex that makes infants hold their breath if submerged. But arguably some of the complex stuff we do is pretty instinctive. Like we don’t instinctively know a language, but babies’brains are pre-wired to recieve one, and they listen for, repeat, and learn a language author anyone telling them to.
