    Mar 15 2013: When a human first stuck his/her finger in a fire, they learned the hard way, that finger gets burned.
    So that knowledge was spread & soon (yrs.) became common sense.
    Just using that example, you could say: Common sense comes from knowledge but in a lot of cases, intuition plays a big part too. That small voice that says: Don't do that! OR Go for it!.
    To break these down into similarities & differences, or even sciences, would depend on how each human thinks & the amt. of knowledge & common sense they each have. Even their ancestral brain might play a large part.
    I am a lay person & intelligent but I rely on my common sense.
