A subject that came up in my day only a few days ago.. a subject of some interest to me.

'Memories' pass between generations.

I'm pretty sure that's approaching the definition of 'instinct', but more knowledge is required.


They used to call it 'junk DNA'.. which of course is quite laughable and ludicrous today. The 'experts' have only just scratched the surface of the possibilities of DNA and what information it can transmit through the generations.

('DNA Is Not Destiny' from 2006, a good overview but much has been learned in the intervening time. I point to this article for newbies because the striking image illustrates the principle quite well)
