2. Does human instinct always predominate?

Let’s assume for one second that this scenario is possible and disregard reality. This is a fictitious scenario but I am still interested what people think about the possible outcome.

Two newborn, a boy and a girl, are left on a deserted island with absolutely no one taking care of them, talking to them, feeding them or educating them. In this fictitious scenario, they are able to find food, shelter, water and sleep, the 4 basic necessity for every human being.

Assuming again that those children have now reached puberty, are healthy, have no physical challenge except for the lack of parental love and affection. How would they develop?

Would their basic instinct take over, even though nobody ever told them, showed them or educated them?

Could they find love for each other? Would they know how to procreate since they have never had access to any visuals or sounds made by others?

So Brother and Sister or completely unrelated? The answer may well determine expected outcomes.

@KiwiBird My original intent was to have 2 total strangers and not siblings. I am aware that as siblings, the response towards each other may not be the same.

@Stephie Great clarification because some responses are presuming they are..... siblings, that is. Now we don't have to cross that taboo line of incest which just clouds the issue and not answer what you were after.

@KiwiBird My bad. I should have been more specific and now allow for potential conflicts ☹️

@Stephie Not at all. Those in doubt should just seek clarification.
@Stephie
Not really Stephie, the way you worded it was fine with me. I offered at least two different scenarios which included the infants as being biological siblings or being adopted siblings living within the same circumstance you outlined. It's all good! Read my detailed piece to see how either scenario would play out in the real world.
