When living things reproduce, their genes get passed on which contain some traits from that parent. This process continues as the organism reproduces.

What must be of traits that are passed down through generations?

Traits that are passed down through the generations must be either culturally or environmentally inculcated or genetically inherited (or some combination of these). Evolutionary Biology concerns itself with genetically inherited traits. In the long term, for genetically inherited traits to continue to be passed down through the generations, they must be at least neutral with regard to reproductive fitness, or advantageous (i.e. they must not be subject to negative selection pressure)

How and when did humans know the traits are inherited from their parents?

Put simply, inherited traits are those passed down by your parents and are found in your genes e.g. big nose, big ears, little feet. Aquired Traits are traits that are not passed down but instead "aquired" since birth. An example of this is: scars, pierced ears, the length of your hair, the loss of a limb.
