It is scary because I figured you were one of the smart guys here, but the fact that you think instinct and emotion are the same thing amazes me.
Do you think the booby has one partner for life because they are "in love" with each other? Do you think salmon swim upstream because they are homesick? Lions battle for power because it is survival of the fittest and the ability to fuck any lioness in the pride. It isn't an emotional thing, it is instinct and survival.
The maternal instinct is just that, an instinct.
