    Innate - existing in one from birth; inborn; native

    Transferring through DNA or what, seems to be the most valid argument so far. I think it may fall along the lines with instinct as well like how we're innately afraid of snakes which are poisonous. Something that's been developed over time. Another idea would be that we also have souls that carry the innate wisdom.
