The distinctions between Goa'uld and Tok'ra demonstrate that in fact the whole life cycle of the goa'uld is a learned behavior from the swamp. If a given birthed goa'uld is swimming around waiting to be placed with a Jaffa, does that mean that a baby Tok'ra also needs a Jaffa? In either case, has anyone explained anything about the origins of Goa'uld evolution at the point one or more of them realized that they could benefit from living in a host Unas (to begin with anyway) and started the process? If there was a history of voluntary hosting with the Unas that would be further evidence that the arrogant traits of the goa'ulds are not genetic or inherent, but learned by each and every individual, presumably from when he is still in the primordial swamp and hasn't even had the "honor" of developing in a Jaffa.
And the Tok'ra originated in the same swamps/lakes, and presumably require the same development via a Jaffa. But if they eventually become different "people," then we see the traits of the goa'uld are learned behaviors and there is nothing truly genetic about it at all.
