Interesting question. I think of it like this and let’s use eating as the activity. Our body and mind develop the parts needed mouth, digestive system and the neural connections to control and receive information. So a baby is born and knows how to suckle right off the start. The babies lips touch and they start to suckle. Instincts seem to be more to biological survival activities of the individual or the species.
