As much as it pains me to admit this....I am agreeing with you, you old Spaniard pirate.
IN the whole debate between nature and nurture, I come down heavily on the side of nature. Having 4 kids has allowed me to observe this phenomenon first hand.
In addition, we have to consider the fact that as humans we all share certain common biological memories. According to Joseph Campbell this helps explains the common thread running through many cultures. For example, the story of the flood is found in many, diverse cultures. Only through a commonly shared biological memory can we explain the prevalence of the flood legend.
