Human instinct is what drives all our impulses, whether it is sexual drive, survival, competition, aggression or the search for knowledge. Most people can accept the idea that humans are descended from apes, but few can accept the psychological implications. Humans not only look, move and breathe like apes, they also think like them. But how well do instincts equip us for the 21st century, with its large anonymous cities, levels of stress and the battle of the sexes? Robert Winston takes us on a journey deep into the human mind, exploring those instincts that make us human.
