Good of the Designer to find a way to pack all that good "pre-learned" stuff into our DNA.

Perhaps you could consider respect for Newton's laws a tropism. Like algae swimming toward light. Quite a handy thing to have if you have to live outdoors, and make a living in rough terrain all day.

I'm quite sure that a lot of our behavior follows some pretty simple rules. I'll be impressed with A.I. when it can emulate the learning of these rules with a handful of components.
