en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instinct
There you go, sources and all. It’s very illuminating.
My argument is that there is a basic moral code embedded in our genes via instincts. For example the ability to feel compassion and empathy - these are instinctual.
online.uwa.edu/news/empathy-in-animals/ (just an example)
Now, what exactly is “good” is a philosophical question without an objective answer. But to assume our entire behavior and everything makes a person “good” is learned is pretty disingenuous, at least under the definitions of good I’ve most commonly come across.

A wiki does not an argument make, and your argument fails to explain why compassion and empathy are not universal in our species and a learned behavior.

You’re not arguing in good faith - the wiki was the source for the existence of instincts you asked for. Also, Wikipedia is a very good resource actually, what difference would it make to you if I just copied the sources referenced in the article?
I didn’t get your second part.

I know you didn’t get the second part because you don’t understand your own argument.
