The theory of " genetic memory " expects some experiences, ideas and knowledge to be preserved in DNA and transmitted to subsequent generations genetically.
There are various studies and books written in support of this theory; Particularly interesting is the work of Dr. Darold Treffert of the University of Medicine of Wisconsin, a psychiatrist specializing in the study of savant syndromes.
Treffert states that then in the savant (superhuman abilities) some abilities appear incredibly at a tender age, inevitably the great predisposition for certain activities must derive from DNA and be inherited by the ancestors.
For example, Leslie Lemke's musical genius was already a great virtuoso in her childhood, even though she had never studied music or taught lessons.
Alonzo Clemons, on the other hand, has become a great sculptor following a childhood brain trauma that seems to have "liberated" some of his innate abilities (he has never received any artistic education).
Research also showed that in mice, fear of a particular smell from parents could be transmitted to children via DNA.
In the study , published on Nature, F0 mice (parents) were exposed to a certain smell (acetophenone) and associated with this trauma (small electric shock) they developed a phobia, which manifested itself when they were re-smoked.
Incredibly, the children of F0 (F1) showed an innate fear for the same smell, transmitted by parents through DNA.
Examination of the genetic heritage of F0 and F1 showed that the smell-sensitive olfactory receptor responsible gene (Olfr151) was modified in both individuals for hypomethylation.
A truly fascinating field of study 🙂
