Yeah, I’m an engineer. I’ve been a server, and I’ve washed dishes. I could go back to doing either of those, your average dishwasher could do neither of the others.
Some skills may be more common than others, but their distribution throughout the population is not the same as their occurrence within any natural ranking relative one to another.
Nature is that which occurs independent from the particular intentions of individuals or the particular configuration of society.
Human societies occur within nature. We utilize and transform facets of nature toward our needs and ends. That which we create or produce is not natural.
In various societies, members tend to express different behaviors, are subjected to different experiences, and have different roles and relationships.

What gives you the right to define what nature is if that’s what it is?
I invoked the term originally, and later clarified the meaning, which is not in my experience controversial.
How do you understand nature?
You did not answer my question. You gave a definition of natural. Please explain why you get to define it.
