Abstract: Vitus Droescher' smain thoughts on animal sociology of sexes can be generalized as following: the instincts which influence the modes of gender relations and marriage are mainly sexual and aggressive and sympathetic Instincts. Sexual instinct is the genetic ability and mode with which sexual animals seek for and copulate with the opposite sex Aggressive instinct is the genetic indination of aggressive or destructive behavior which higher animals generalIy have. Sympathetic Instinct or social bonding instinct is the genetic behavioral inclination of making a sympathy bond based on the feeling of sympathy or affinity between two individuals transcending the one created by sexual needs which only highly social higher animals have. The master factor of marital stabil ity is mainly the intensity of the sympathy bond but not the strength of the sexual attraction between a male and a female, sympathetic instinct is just the legendary ,,tie that binds" or ,,red thread of the old man under the moon" in Chinese. Besides sexual and aggressive and sympathetic Instincts, the environmental factors such as food supply, liandscape and climate, and cultural ones such as teaching, learning and communication would also influence the modes of gender relations tnd maniage.
