Inheritance.........................

"We are born animals; we become human.  We have humanity thrust upon us through hundreds of channels whereby the past pours down into the present that mental and cultural inheritance whose preservation, accumulation and transmission place mankind today, with all its defectives and illiterates, on a higher plane than any generation has reached before."
-Will Durant, The Greatest Minds and Ideas of All Time
