What's so brilliant about maternal instincts? How can an instinct be brilliant?

You don't see something magnificent from birds imprinting to higher mammals developing nursing
and forming strong bonds & relationships with their young ?

In the higher mammals & primates with longer weaning periods the developement of interrelationships of greater complexity . Believe the Orangutans go something near 8yrs before they give birth again , so there you see this great deal of time for forming deep bonds between mother & offspring . Adds alot to the plate of developing intelligence & even what some scientist think of mammals having some abilities to emote , remember & have individual connections with one another .

Nothing brilliant about that to you ? It sure does it for me bruno , i see all kinds of developing possibilities here beyond just searching for food, flight or fight . How & what relationship bonds is your world made up of ?

I would hope they are somewhat brilliant & satisfying?
