Summary Introduction
To review:
The evidence that suggests that a particular human behavior might be innate.
Introduction:
An innate behavior is an instinctive behavior which is not learned or acquired but is observed when an individual is exposed to a proper stimulus that evokes a particular set of behavior or a reaction which was never practiced before. The behaviors which occur without any previous experience are known as innate behavior.
