1. It does not appear to be instinctive because it is not universal.
2. Rhesus monkeys raised in isolation without seeing monkeys mothering their offspring do not know how to raise their own.
3. Women raised in abusive or indifferent families are more likely to be abusive or indifferent to their own children. In some cultures, mothers are cool or unfriendly to their children or not required to be the primary caretaker.
