Instincts such as eating, drinking, sleeping, excreting/urinating, and mating are some of the most common primal instincts. Without these, we would die because of a lack of physical needs. These are basically somatic(body-based) survival needs.
Emotions are usually thought of as not part of primal instincts, but anger is definitely an instinct. Without anger, we could not protect ourselves. Anger flares up when we feel as if we need to defend ourselves whether it's our food, a partner, or money. Adrenaline accompanies emotions like anger. This is the basic "fight or flight" response that we have when we are in stressful situations. This response is critical to survival. If we are faced with a life endangering situation, then we either fight it, or we flee. This is how our ancestors
managed to stay alive.
