Simple question, hard answer. Where is it placed. Possibly it is not there until birth, or is taught in upbringing. Upbringing is DEFINATELY ruled out from studying bastardized animals. What part of the biological process holds this information.

Is instinct programmed into the lifecycle of a person from repetitive training, to be passed on to the children?????

One last question, if instinct is inheritent-ly created and passed on from so called "lifetime experiences;" does it or will it dissolve with certain variables such as no more need for this instinct? (This means all progenies are from the same species, race, culture, etc, with no need to adhere to this instinctive nature anymore.)

True instinct is in the DNA, although some behaviours are learned but considered instintive.

Yes. These are located in the brain's neural net. As the brain develops, some neurons form connections which are race memories like breathing.

instinct by definition is inherited, not learned. in a controlled environment where nothing is taught, all that is available is instinctive behaviour.
