Yes, and even if we aren't stressed we can see much animal behavior still functioning in the human being. For example, flight or fight reactions when there may be no real danger or the urge to copulate when there is no need and perhaps no desisre for more offspring are two "biggies," imo. These are basic instincts which stem from our biological anscestors and which indicate humans don't yet apply their reason to many of their actions.
