OP's claim is quite naive. Even if you haven't read anything on this, when you have a child you'll immediately understand how much information they have out of the box. Some well-known examples:
* Babies will immediately seek out face-like patterns and turn their faces towards them (http://www.slate.com/blogs/how_babies_work/2013/04/03/babies_and_the_new_science_of_facial_recognition.html http://www.slate.com/blogs/how_babies_work/2013/04/03/babies...). Babies would turn their faces to animal faces, too, so it's broad face recognition.
* Although babies make smiling motions soon after birth, at about 6 weeks they start to make social similes (http://www.webmd.com/parenting/baby/babys-first-social-smile http://www.webmd.com/parenting/baby/babys-first-social-smile). This surely is not learned behavior.
* Language learning. Chomsky's Universal Grammar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_grammar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_grammar) posits that we are born with a language faculty that has a lot of switches about language, we just set the switches by being exposed to a particular language.
