   I'd modify that slightly to claim that humans (and other animals)   
   aare also born with some firmware.  One could argue about the   
   degree to which the firmware can be modified--or just   
   overridden--by accumulations of software.  (One also needs to be   
   careful not to stretch the analogies too far...)
