Especially math lol that definitely has to be taught. But language and social skills are also taught. If a person was raised completely secluded from other people they would not know how to act in a group and at the very least their behavior would be considered weird by other people. If you never talked to or around a baby they would not learn your language. If language does not have to be taught, then why doesn’t everyone speak every language?
Thank you, this is what I'm saying.
Just because a baby is born without something, doesn't mean it is natural for humans to remain without it.
Ah...I missed something in there somewhere and thought someone was saying those things did not have to be taught.
I went back and found Beccs’ comment. Unless I’m missing something, I don’t agree with the reasoning.
If that were correct it would be unnatural for humans to know anything beyond basic human instinct.
