Take this a little further, and I would think evolutionists would study instinct a little more to discover how animals know how to do certain things.

Is this a serious statement? Do you know who Konrad Lorenz is? How 'bout Jane Goodall? Ever read any evolutionary psychology? Animal behavior is one of the most heavily-studied fields in biology, with fieldworkers studying everything from elephants to single-celled animals. There are entire subfields of it, thousands of journals, institutional centers, field centers...

See here for an extensive list of links...

and those are just humans....

domestic animals are here...

I won't bother with the others....there are just too damn many.
