The people who watch over the fate of the universe are unhappy that for the seventh time (after being slapped back to the stone age six times) humans have once again achieved atomic weapons and space flight without solving their internal problems. So they kidnap a man to find out… Instinct was first published in Astounding Science Fiction March 1959.
