Socialization starts after we're born.  Obviously.  There's nobody around to
socialize with before we're born.  Within the first minute, a baby's gaze is
on it's mother's eyes.  You can draw a circle and put two dots corresponding
to where the eyes should be, put it on the wall and that's where an infant's
gaze will lock.  They have a built-in  urge to socialize.  So I guess it's a
matter of quibbling over labeling then.  Since they are attempting to
socialize, I'd call that a socialization process.  Since it's built-in, you
say it's on the biological level.

Po-tay-toe, Po-tah-toe.

I haven't had much college, but I've had a lot of babies.
