I was watching this video recently (https://youtu.be/XAd1DlE7eaU) and in the first few minutes, he mentions something about the robin rotating the eggs under it so the heat distributes evenly. This make me really think.
How do these animals understand the incubation process? How can it understand something complex like knowing how often to rotate the eggs, or even comprehend it needs to rotate them in the first place? Does this suggest that knowledge is passed down through genetics?

It’s just pure instinct. They’re born with the urges to do natural things like find food, avoid predators, mate, and raise babies. If they don’t have that instinct, they’re much more likely to die, leaving those with the instinct surviving and passing along their genes. So pretty much natural selection for survival instinct
