Especially if you consider races to be created for a specific purpose, it makes sense to have it instinctively able to perform that function. Same as animals are born with the knowledge of how to mate because their "design goal" is to propagate their genetic material. If Corellon wanted elves to fight with a longsword, he would make them innately good with it (maybe with born-in muscle reflex or specific physical advantage relevant to longsword-fighting?) A common trope is having gods addicted to worship, they'd be smart to make sure their worshipping race instinctively know how to perform the rites correctly or, at least, has an insatiatable thirst for religious knowledge (inborn proficiency). Same with language. The KB explanation is great, and Adam and Eve apparently had no difficulty understanding themselves despite not having been to school: it makes sense that Adamic was instinctive knowledge until the Babel event. I don't see any problem with natural knowledge being present in people. It would certainly affect culture, though.</p></blockquote><p></p>
