An innate tendency is a natural behavior or characteristic that an organism possesses without being taught or learned.

  • It is an inherent quality that is present at birth or arises naturally in response to certain stimuli.
  • Instinct is an example of an innate tendency that is present in animals, including humans, and guides them to behave in certain ways without the need for conscious thought or decision-making.
  • Instincts are thought to be the result of evolution, shaped by natural selection to increase the chances of survival and reproduction.
