know, then live?

To me, this connects with the usefulness of looking to evolution as a model for education.  Do you agree that it terms of evolution, living things, including ourselves, don't learn first, then live/play out that learning, but instead learn and live in a mutually reinforcing process?  If so, I wonder if knowledge is not so much acquired as something already out there and now assimilated,  but constructed -- even at the beginning (when first learning "the basics," for example).
