Knowledge

Kant's intuition as genetic knowledge; nature/nurture

Knowledge in Biology is usually separated in two, the natural, inherited, the Genome and the learned, taught, culture, nurture, Memetic.

Philosophers of the past struggled on this intuitive vs empirical Knowledge because they hadn’t the theory of Evolution.
