It has been shown that if a modern human is not taught human language, and has void or very limited human contact/interaction (except for feeding) he will fail to speak, mature, and act more or less barbaric. Nurture has a lot to do with behavior considered civilized or "human". "Evolved", "higher" brains have little to do with what makes us human. Whatever natural "human" inclinations or potential we may be born with fail to develop if not nurtured.
But the exact same thing can be said of any primate, ape, monkey. In fact, the same can be said of most, if not all, mammals.
So you ask where did the first human get the knowledge?
But I'll ask where did the first monkey get it, or dolphin, or bat get that very same knowledge?
Why stop at humans when many, many more species down the line show this same behavior?
However, if you understood common ancestry then you would see how these traits emerged and came to be present in modern mammals, which obviously includes humans.

Re: Animal & Human Knowledge Gap
As Jehovah commanded Adam in the garden to have Dominion over all of the animal kingdom, so it has been throughout history.
But we didn't have dominion over dinosaurs. Hominids didn't have dominion. Homo-erectus didn't have dominion. Even early homo-sapiens didn't have dominion, to the point of almost going extinct just due to environmental reasons, while other animlas flourished. Back then in fact, for hominds and early bi-pedal apes, the brain capacity was not at all greater than that of other apes.
So what happened to all that dominion stuf back then?
Also, what does the scientific evidence point to being the reason for the larger brain capacity and higher brain functions that lead to greater intelligence? This is a science thread so evidence is needed, friend.

Re: Animal & Human Knowledge Gap
So produce your evidence that humans didn't have dominion over dinos.
It would probably be best for you to sit-in on a 3rd grade science class for that information.
Are you really claiming primates and dinos co-existed? Seriously?
