You do not pop out of the womb knowing how to write or use a keyboard.

  Evolution did a lot of pretraining, there are dedicated structures and areas in the brain for many tasks which we are good at, such as language and facial recognition.

    Just stop, this entire argument that a child comes out capable of speaking, understanding speech, and other concepts, is just ridiculous. We all know a child doesn’t come from the factory this way, we can stop over thinking it.

      Did I say anything about what a newborn's capabilities are, or are you placing words in someone else's mouth. I would invite you to look at the research around brain structures and then try to refute that we have dedicate structures in the brain that developed through evolution. Obviously they are not refined at birth, the fine tuning happens through experience and environment. However the structures and propensity are certainly there at birth
