Having arisen within the species through evolution rather than through learning by that individual. Innate propensities are typically expressed at or by birth. Some innate behaviors may be ‘blocked’ or ‘masked’ due to poor motor abilities and not manifest at the moment of birth. If an ability emerges after birth and is not attributable to postnatal learning, it may still be deemed innate; however, such cases are rare and require extraordinary evidence that they are not attributable to learning. Compare with contrasting descriptions provided in Innate (1) and Innate (3). <\/p>\n
