So, Hypothetically, if a human baby grew up far away from any sort of contact with human civilisation or even animals, wouldn't the baby not "learn" how to sin? Human beings learn by seeing, by memorizing, by practicing and observing. So if a baby were to grow up somewhere where any sort of sin was not committed thereby not seeing or learning sin -
Would the baby grow up to be as someone born with "original sin" but never actually sinned in his entire life thereby not being born with "original sin"?
Unless your catholic I don't think you need worry about original sin, as it is never outlined or discussed in the bible. All the bible says is we are born unto sin. Meaning we are born as slaves to sin. Sin owns us. we are not of sin as sin defined biblical demands a willful disobedience of God. Meaning as in the parable of the talents we are only responsible to what we have been given. At the point of birth we do not even have conscientiousness let alone a working understanding of God's law. Therefore we can not commit a sin, and as being born in of itself is not a sin, then as babies even small children we are without sin. That is why Jesus said unless you are like a child, you can not enter heaven.
Yes, children need to learn the difference between right and wrong.
