Description
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Human Instinct" is the story of how instincts have made us humans into the
uniquely successful species that we are, despite us not always being aware of
them.
Professor Lord Robert Winston was born in 1940 and named Robert Maurice
Winston. He graduated at London University in 1964 and held junior posts at
the London Hospital from that time. In 1970 he joined the Hammersmith Hospital
as a Registrar and became involved in research and development in
gynaecological microsurgery.
He is well known today to audiences throughout the world for his several BBC
television series, which include The Human Body, Secret Life of Twins and
Superhuman, and through which he has shown a great capacity for communicating
often complex science to a wide public audience. He is Professor of Fertility
Studies at Imperial College School of Medicine, London University, and is
world-renowned as a fertility expert. He also heads the Department of
Reproductive Medicine at the Hammersmith Hospital in London.
In Human Instints Professor Robert Winston provides a unique insight into what
it is that makes us human. And it is the story of our extraordinary instincts
and why we behave the way we do and what other animals reveal about our most
basic drives. With intriguing experiments and secret filming he uncovers the
surprising science of sex. And helps us understand why one human being could
lay down their life for another. In exploring survival, sex, competition and
self-sacrifice, Professor Winston takes viewers on a journey of discovery into
human behaviour, to look at ourselves in an entirely new way.
He believes the series is not science for scientists - it is about trying to
translate complex ideas into something easily accessible for all. He thinks
the whole area of evolutionary psychology has been largely overlooked but
thinks it's fascinating. According to Winston we all carry a prehistoric
baggage around with us and don't have full control over it.

Part 1:
In the first programme of the Human Instinct series we explore how this most
basic of instincts means we're all born to survive.
A Baby's Cry
Within a few hours of birth, many animals are not only feeding but standing up
and walking around. By comparison human babies are virtually useless. So the
most important weapon in a baby's survival armoury is an astounding scream. It
can reach 97 decibels - equivalent to a pneumatic drill. Babies alter both the
pitch and volume depending on how urgent their need of help. The louder and
more piercing the scream the quicker the response. With this simple tactic a
human baby ensures it gets all it needs - attention, loving care and of course
food.
A Question of Taste
Without food we die. But can our instinct to eat explain why we all crave
fatty, often unhealthy, food? Like all our instincts, our appetites were
formed millions of years ago. In this uncertain world, laying down fat was the
perfect way to ensure against times when food was scarce. Our ancestors who
craved food which was high in calories and rich in fat lived and passed on
their genes to their children - those who didn't, died and left no
descendents. Gradually, over millions of years, that craving for calories
became instinctive behaviour. But there's an even more sophisticated side to
our craving for food. We also instinctively know what is safe to eat and what
is not.
The Feeling of Fear
Each year at the Pamplona bull run hundreds of people put their survival
instincts to the test. Their heart rates soar as they are chased through the
streets by angry bulls. They are experiencing fear. This instinctive feeling
is so important for our survival, our body reacts before our conscious mind
has even registered the danger. Adrenaline floods the body preparing us to
fight or run.
A Gambling Instinct
Millions of years ago our distant ancestors were constantly choosing between
risky options, balancing threats from predators and unknown landscapes against
potential rewards. We're all descended from those humans that took risks and
won and went on to populate the world. And this most complicated of survival
instincts explains why modern humans just love the thrill of gambling.
