I always have to dissect everything, e.g., religions, so I figure this squirrel was taught to do this in segments.

Not necessarily.  Squirrels are pretty good problem solvers (when food is the goal)  There is a very profitable industry making squirrel proof bird feeders.  Their close relatives, the rat, is also a pretty smart rodent.  They have both lived around humans long enough to adapt to our attempts to wipe them out.

I don't think they were taught, but rather, figured it out on their own.

I like squirrels better than rats though.  I don't know why, I just think they're cuter and they don't give me the creeps.  Maybe it's just how both animals are portrayed that makes me more partial to squirrels.
