I meant to say that hunting and gathering are like a right and left hand,
the one cannot occur without the other...but seems that you would have to
get up and hunt for something to gather...so i think that looking is a
prerequisite to finding.
As to instinct...there is a definitional problem here; but, if by instinct
one means anything that doesn't require thought...then there is that
instinct-thing about an apple instinctually falling from a tree.
