Human Instinct – BBC

In Human Instinct, 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.
