bending started in ancient times, waterbenders learned from the moon, earthbenders from badgermoles, firebenders from dragons, and airbenders from flying bison.

the creators said that people who werent born with the ability, cant "learn" to bend anymore, even if its from one of the original sources above.

i guess the ancient people learned how to bend, then it later just became something passed down.
