Then what you want to start with is texts on behavioral biology or
behavioral neurobiology or animal behavior. You can also search
for "instinctive behavior" on www.google.com for general types
of information or for the same (or related keywrods) on the US
National Library of Medicine (PubMed) at
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/
Still, your request is far too general to be useful (that is why
I suggest books rather than research papers) and your
goal is certainly vague. What constitutes "proper education"
and how can you "inspire" people about instincts?
