Is it a cultural trait, or a side effect of being naturally dexterious and perceptive, reinforced by thier cultures, think of a savant in math, they grasp mathematics insinctually, and find it far easier then normal people and they are born that way. Now a elf that has trained for years with a bow will be far better with a bow then an elf relying on innate talent. Using the above savant example elderin maybe have some innate magic abilities or talent with arcane stuff, because thier brains process arcane information differently and more easely. Dwarves giant fighting abilities may evolve instintcively as giants are a common predator in Dwarven evolution, and so a basic instinct in dodging giants is hardwired into dwarves, because dwarves lacking this adaptation got eaten or turned into Azars.  Thier musculatar may support this instinctive ability as well, it maybe a more natural way for dwarves to move when fighting a larger oppentant. Innate knoweldge is not unknown, humans have an,innate ability to breath, deer are born knowing how to walk, and human babies are born knowing how to swim, although they lose it as they age.</blockquote>
