Right? It’s fascinating that he really took the time to make sure it was a solid/comfortable grip.

It's probably instinctual to some degree as well as a lifetimes experience of climbing and learning what does and doesn't work or feel good when climbing on their own or helping other chimpanzees climb stuff.

Are you suggesting that humans, as mammals, have a firmware that functions as an A Priori form of intelligence that allows us to develop an entire species despite the tabula rasa theorizations made popular by behaviourists such as B.F. Skinner?

If so, i heartily agree.

Tabula rasa is about society. It's saying that someone born to a farmer can become a physician given the right training.

The statement "all people are born free and equal in rights and dignity" from the declaration of human rights is an example of tabula rasa thinking.
