Parents provide their children with genes as well as an environment, so the fact that talkative parents have kids with good language skills could simply mean that and that the same genes that make parents talkative make children articulate.

But the newest research is showing that many properties of the brain are genetically organized, and don't depend on information coming in from the senses.
