Instinct is 'an innate, typically fixed pattern of behavior in response to certain stimuli.' Every lifeforms have instinct, a deep rooted survival ability. Humans are more instinctive than we let on, yet instinct doesn't negate sentience and sapience.
Sentience is the ability to feel, awareness of one's own existence, thoughts, emotions, surroundings, and other beings. You don't need a brain to be sentient (see jellyfish.) Being sentient can go further as self-awareness, consciousness, and the ability to reason.
Semi-Sapience refers to non-human animals regarded as highly intelligent such as corvids, parrots, dolphins, elephants, and primates to name a few. Intelligence is measured by the capacity for learning. It's an aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc.
Sapience is the ability for abstract thoughts, critical thinking, deep reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity. It's usually seen as a human-only thing because we're so far the current sapient animals on Earth.
