Babies have a sucking instinct. They also will grab on to something, like a human finger. This keeps them from falling off their mother. I think jumping and screaming after being startled might be an instinct too. Some people will suddenly even hit the person who scared them. The sex drive and the sleep cycle might also be instinctual, in a way. It is hardwired information injected deep within our brain and body. Perhaps breathing too. I guess it depends on how broad your definition of instinct is. 

Although, I don't ever recall ever going on a migration, or hibernating. I think getting a bad feeling about a person is closer to intuition. Getting a feel for someone is suppose to be a function of your right hemisphere.

I guess that works if we define instinct as knowledge or skills we are born with. Instinct is actually information essential (to a degree) for our survival which has been passed to us from past generations, and also refined as it has passed from one predecessor to the next.
It is also pretty interesting too - it helps babies not injure themselves when they fall (mostly while learning to walk) - they instinctively fall on their butts. It is a concept we have been taught at Bujinkan (martial art organization) - we are always told to first lower ourselves / bend, and before any fancy roll or regular fall the first step is to bend with a tendency to sit down.

Think I kind of messed up the words but I believe you will get my point.
Software and Hardware developer, and everything in between.
