Wake up and smell the science! Can you find the elements of ‘climb’ on the tabula periodica?

I am still reading Robert Sapolsky’s ‘Behave’ :

Ironically, it seems that the genetic program of human brain development has evolved to, as much as possible, free the frontal cortex from genes.

Kind of like after the Big Bang, anti-matter tried to free the universe of  matter, and we luckily ended up with something rather than nothing ;) Some fears are innate.

I have also tried to read ‘An Essay to Humane Understanding’ -John Locke, but feel a bit fatigued by the language... opted instead for an easy summary. (For now)  He thought of the human baby’s  brain as a ‘tabula rasa’...
