İmo, instinct is equal to survival skills. Therefore, instinct created the language. Looking forward to hear the answer of yours.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. Language was created by people. Body language is a different story, but what is it you're really asking.

Doesn't every animal possess instincts from the time they were born? For example, the cry of the baby when seeing the light. 

But what if the baby was trying to communicate through her cry? 

Instincts are more fundamental I believe, hence they should have come first

That does not compute according to my calculator. Is this a bug or a feature?

The now (not) dead Noam Chomsky showed that human's language skills are genetic.

The only reason you can underatand and use language is because you have the right genetics.

Does Survival instinct exist without language?

Yeah. Exactly, but without the language, what will it be?

What about if we never invented the language? İ remember that one of pychedelic trips, i become a wolf. When i smell the walls, i could understand they are walls. However, somehow, they were no language there. Because, animals do not talk.

Maybe barking, smelling and howling is the another type of or same as language?

Going by strict definitions, language means human communication like speaking, sign language etc. It will be a better comparison if language is replaced with the word communication.
