With language, yes, there is genetic memory. It's just called culture.

If there was some kind of a 'lock' related to languages in our DNA, adopted babies would have no problems picking up their birth parents' language as they grew up.

Any animal can make sounds, yes. Including hominids. With them, though, somewhere down the line, sounds ceased to be 'mere' sounds and became words: what the words mean is a social agreement. And with time, the meanings can (and will) change.

As it is, though, I think the place for this discussion isn't here, and apologize for continuing it. If you wish to continue, let us take this to a talk page, perhaps?
