Yes I already said that in another comment. But to say no instincts translate to basic Survival, or are more common in mammals would be wrong. Even more so if we start looking at specific classifications, youll obviously start seeing more in common. I never state which instincts I thought humans had. But to say any of our instincts don’t have a commonality with at least one other animal species would be wrong.

I guess we can agree to disagree there. I’m of the belief we’re still very motivated by our internal instincts, whether we know it or not

Of course, but the behavior we associate with pair bonding would be similar to the behavior we associate with codependency in humans. And I’m aware most animals do not pair bind but a considerable number of pair bonds have been noticed in both domestic and non domestic mammals, and many birds

I said some behaviors not all, that’s just silly. Any use of critical thinking would presume that eating poop isn’t a common instinct, even in most animals, pica is not normal.
