Does a specie "inherit"? Receive or be left with
Post# of 125035
Receive or be left with (a situation, object, etc.) from a predecessor or former owner.
"spending commitments inherited from previous administrations"
synonyms: succeed to, assume, take over, come into;
At the risk of being too Bhawkyen, the term inherit is strictly a human concept based on ownership. Other, newer forms of life will hopefully not replicate this unfortunate trait!
