I wonder if it only seems like our brains need relatively little training because we have millions of years of training encoded in our DNA.
No other animal can learn human language or logic to the extent that humans can, no matter how much you train them. But humans learn language easily in the first few years of life.
It’s almost as if the human brain is preprogrammed with the general concepts of all languages, and it just needs to be fine tuned with specific vocabulary and grammar rules.
