I don't think the knowledge comes particularly easily. But it usually comes early, so the emotional cost of learning some of the big'uns is submerged.
I imagine that babies and toddlers do a great deal of social experimentation, mostly within the family, to figure out where and how they fit in. And for some reason most adults aren't super aware of this experimentation. That is probably adaptive also ... most of us are set up to take a social lesson for granted, once it's learned.
To rehash some of what X and Steve said, most of us have a strong drive to adapt our behavior toward what the group accepts and praises. And I'll tentatively extend that to say that we begin thhe adaptation process pretty much from birth (imprinting mommy and maybe daddy) and the following weeks (like that all-important first smile).
