In reply to lone:
> I was listening to BBC Radio 2 this morning and they said that Sea Otters use stones as tools from as young as pups, which means the use of the stones as tools is instinctive, unlike humans who had to learn how to use tools.So I thought, if climbing was instinctive to humans, and I mean like climbing a HVS, how would that change rock climbing, as we know it today?L
Climbing is instinctive , learning something is just the honing of skills in regard to this instinct.
I would argue that using tools is also instinctive as its in our potential to do this .
Seems a strange around the house question.
It's a bit like the nature/nurture question in my opinion.
