Intelligence, or self awareness, is -not- a superior thing to instinct. It has it's own flaws and weakness's, as well as it's own strengths. We still have instincts, and believe it or not, we're better off with them.
Consideration, morals, and ethics are just things we use to get along, and function in a society that has to balance needs vs wants. An extra complication we have to deal with because we're 'intelligent'.
We're still animals, no matter how smart we are.
We still have nearly all the instinctual things that animals have. We just react to them differently.
