I don’t get how babies not spontaneously learning language invalidates the fact that toddlers will instinctively walk up to other toddlers to play regardless of their race. And sure, you need to learn empathy, but that’s when the conditioning part comes in. Plenty of people become empathetic adults even if their parents are terrible people.

That happens because in-group selection is forming as toddlers…
Like, this highlights my general point. You’re just making a bunch of assumptions based on feelings instead of spending five minutes looking into all the actual scientific research.
The connection is that just like they need exposure to language, they need someone to socialize them and develop an aversion to violence. Done properly everytime a child uses violence they are told “no” and have some means of punishment. Which teaches them not to be violent.
Without that, you get an adult who readily uses violence.
You’re seeing the results of literal decades of socialization and ate deciding it’s not necessary because everyone’s socialized.
So why not just stop socializing them?
I hope that made sense, or at least someone else will help you.
