At birth, take a male and a female human from each of their parents.
Raise them together, but independent of any possibility of social learning - other than what they get from interacting with each other.
I.E they aren't taught a language, there are no other humans around, and thus no pre-existing social conventions to mimic.
And here's the question:
Do they know what sex is and how to do it?
It's almost inevitable that they will independently discover:
- touching their reproductive organs feels good,
- they are "attracted" to the opposite sex
But there's a rather large leap from that, to:
- the male innately knowing that he ought to penetrate the female until climax, and
- the female understanding that when that happens, she will get pregnant and produce offspring.
Are there any studies that have tested this on mice or some other species?
