Wow, that's an interesting theory! Maybe it's just a natural instinct that we all have to protect ourselves from harm. Whatever the case may be, we're certainly glad that our ancestors passed on this knowledge to us!

Your parents, not ancestors. It isn't a natural instinct, it is a learned behaviour. At some point, the first get burned from something, he signaled/told the others not to do the same, and that behavior get educated to the next generation. When it would be an instinct, no toddler would touch it. But when you don't be cautious, these little fuckers would burn themselves at multiple opportunities. So no instinct
