Indeed, this possibility is the key underlying assumption of Chomskyan linguistics:

"Huge neural nets" as the parent suggested tend to have hardwired architectures but randomly distributed parameters. Whether or not that is analogous to the human brain is anyone's guess and probably more of a philosophical question than a compu-biological one.

That is interesting, but just thinking, there are things that humans can do "out of the box" so to speak like face recognition and language acquisition and more.

Is it possible that, rather than things becoming physically hard-wired into us, our ability to communicate and work together has gradually streamlined the learning process? Of course it stands to reason that we would physically change to adapt to our changing environments, and maybe a NN would be able to adapt at a greater rate.

> our ability to communicate

This is actually one of the most important things "hard-wired" into us that I am talking about! Language acquisition seems to be natural for humans, even if the languages are quite different.
