Nativism postulates the innateness of many cognitive functions and concepts. This hypothesis supports the innateness hypothesis about the biological innateness of linguistic competence. These include innateness, modularity, the poverty of the stimulus, language universals, binarity, etc. However, the argument that the poverty of the stimulus supports the innateness hypothesis remains controversial. Contrastive analyses about the innateness hypothesis have been done by Jacek Fisiak in 1980. It has been argued that it does not support linguistic innateness. Moreover, some saw the case of Genie as a support to the innateness hypothesis. Beheshti also emphasized on the theory of Fitarat (innateness or primary nature) in anthropology. Critics have questioned the proposed innateness of certain phobias, such as fear of snakes. Without this innateness, there will be no learning process. Innateness, however, is a thorny question in philosophy, psychology, and linguistics.
