That it's easier to learn via a song is quite obvious to me. I used to compose and record songs for poems I had to memorize in school, and not only those were the only ones I memorized with ease - those are also the ones I still remember today.
Infants understand language via rhythm and tone rather than individual sounds

Four prototypes?
Gamete cells get a random half of all genes from each parent so there's about 2 unique possible 'sets' from each parent, and 2*2=4. However because it's random I think you can only say there are 4 distinct completely unique possibilities in theory, but it would be very unlikely for that to actually happen in practice.
Each parent supplies half the genetic material. But each sperm and each egg have a randomly different set of one half of each chromosomes.
So if you have 10 children chances are they each have a unique set of chromosomes.

> Everyone talks to their babies a lot Most people talk to their babies at least sometimes, but observing families there are huge differences between how much people talk to their babies, how they talk to them, what subjects they talk about, how many different languages they use, etc.
Is this your observations or a study?
This is my observations, but there are also numerous studies demonstrating this if you go looking. For instance, a 2m search turns up https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3440540/
