I suspect there’s a good deal baked into a human brain we’re not fully aware of. So babies aren’t starting from zero, they have billions of years of evolution to bootstrap from.

For example, language might not be baked in, but the software for quickly learning human languages certainly is.

To take a simple example, spiders aren’t taught by their mothers how to spin webs. They do it instinctively. So that means the software for spinning a web is in the spider’s DNA.
