This is the proper Kantian answer. Certain basic human capacities are innate (e.g. perceptual grasp of relative object size), but it is through socialization processes that these capacites are "assembled" into knowledge and meaning.
A Freudian take that applies more to behavior in the workplace is that certain drives are innate to the organism and require discharge lest tension builds up, and it is through learned "algorithms" that we find acceptable ways to relieve these tensions.
