Nearly all humans are parrots, aka mimics. One of the great demonstrations of it, which anyone can observe 24/7, is Reddit (and the Reddit knowledge spouted so commonly across the platform).
There are mimics, amplifiers, and originators/creators. Mimics are ~95-99% of the population. Amplifiers are - broadly speaking - teachers, people with bullhorns that train the mimics off of something another person originated/innovated/created.
It's why humanity has been so successful. The mimics are wired to try to copy what is shown to work, and they often do it quite well (keeping up with the Joneses is a wired behavior tied to plentifulness, survival and thriving).
