The way I see it that instinct is the cause behind so much suffering and injustice in the world.

No, I just watch content from evolutionary biologists, because it's something I'm interested in.

It may not be that our version of the species will be renamed, but since species delineations are somewhat arbitrary (where does one generation stop and one start, when it's actually a gradual process?), future generations of biologists may decide that we are something else. Either way, we won't be around to know!
