Well that's just it though, and the primary instincts are all based around survival. It turns out, the biggest asset in adaptability and survival is intelligence, by far. Humans got too smart, and therefore "too good at surviving" and because of the inevitable population boom we're quickly outgrowing our habitat (Earth) and have nowhere to expand to, so (unless there's a sudden leap in space travel technology and terraforming) we'll use up everything that this one has to offer for as long as is possible and then simply die off.
