This made me go look this up: Actress Marilu Henner, best known for her role as Elaine Nardo in the hit sitcom Taxi, has a highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM), a rare condition shared by only 100 people worldwide. I suspect those 100 people would be able to learn certain material faster than others. I'm also curious about people who have learned mnemonic tricks. I've seen people memorize the order of the US Presidents in just a few minutes once they are taught a memory trick... But yeah, the point of the article, in my mind, is that nothing beats investing a lot of time in especially in early childhood exposing people to all kinds of learning opportunities.
