The serpent taught Eve how to sin, no? Hence she, being a human being, learned how to sin. Hence ... Humans learned to sin, right?
No.
Adam and Eve disobeyed God.
The original sin.
Adam and Eve trusted in something other than God.
The original sin.
There is no learning curve going on. It's not an evolution of learning that ultimately, over time, resulted in sin being discovered.

Calvinists teach reversed evolution. That men became monkeys.

Calvinists might say that their human nature died.

It's not my story. It's your quote. I didn't misquote you and you haven't clarified. All you did was make a statement in the form of a question.
Here's a simple yes or no question for you.
Do you believe in the origin of sin as I defined it?

MoreCoffee has some heretical pelagian beliefs:

Sinless Garden Version Book one Chapter three

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?" The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden" "You will not surely die", the serpent said to the woman. She took some[fruit] and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then both of them were satisfied, and they realised fruit tasted good; [it was cool] so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. So the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?" He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I wanted to play hide and seek; so I hid." And he said, "That's good. I like to see my children at play" said the LORD God. The man said, "The woman you put here with me--suggested that we play hide and seek so I agreed because it was a good idea." Then the LORD God said to the woman, "You are such a clever lass aren't you?" The woman said, "To tell the truth the serpent described the game to me and it seemed like it would be fun." So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, I am putting a gold star on your report card" To the woman he said, "And you will get a silver star." To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and played hide and seek you too will get a silver star." Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living. The LORD God made garments of silk and fluffy cotton for Adam and his wife and clothed them. And the LORD God said, "The man has now become playful like one of us, knowing good games." So the LORD God made a house for the man and his wife in the Garden of Eden.

Not me. Those are the words of the Sinless Garden Version Book one Chapter three a mystic fairy tale - or possibly history - of the ancient days.
