That was my argument: The new child is an instantiated object of class Human which receives some DNA and methods for the classes and learns as it goes. He insisted that it worked better if the child inherited from it's parents, and these parents would have inherited from theirs and so on.

I guess you are both "overloading" the word "inherit". Your statement that "new being would 'inherit' from that class and get some instance variables..." implies that you thought he child is a separate class that is inheriting from a parent class.. You can't define a new class for each generation.
