Self-Preservation: All living beings want to survive at any cost by fight or flight reaction against any danger.

Herd instincts: which is common in all living beings, herd means all living being are social animals. E.g. ants have a queen and other ants follow this leader.
Most of the animals live their lives according to these basic instincts.
The Human brain has evolved more intelligence than any other living being on our planet. Humans are now more civilized than at any other time in history. The average IQ of human beings is, by definition, 100; there is a range of IQ with most people falling between 50 to as high as 160. Previously it was believed that that human being whose IQ is above 150 can be considered a genius. However, in 1985 one psychiatrist has written a book on emotional quotient "EQ" and has said that without emotional maturity one cannot become a genius. Now, there is also thought to be a Spiritual Quotient which is equally important to becoming a genius. "SQ" means faith in some natural super power, or God or Gods. Unless one has developed all three IQ, EQ, and SQ, it is difficult to become a genius. Even a modern genius like Albert Einstein believed in some higher power.
