Genetic Memory

Genetic memory is real. More real than I once thought. I witnessed it in games, novels and documentaries but never took it seriously. Do you remember why asexual reproduction produces less superior offspring than that of sexual reproduction? Because genes from 2 organisms are better than from 1. But why? The reason; better evolutionary changes. Because when chromosomes from 2 organisms combine, you get more varied genetic memory. Unlike personal memory, genetic memory is not something you can actually remember as it did not happen to you personally.

Genetic memory is that which makes the offspring of the parent organism immune to the same disease that was fought by the parent in some cases. Another use of genetic memory is for survival.

There was an experiment done that involved a new born chicken(I've mentioned this in my previous post) was shown a silhouette of a hawk. Without any contact with its "mama" hen, the chick seemed to recognize the silhouette and run away in the opposite direction. Also in some animals like bears, it is genetic memory that tells the bear, "it is no longer winter, you may stop hibernating now".


Genetic memory is what is often misconceived as the soul or spirit in an organism. It is actually the subconscious part of the brain that stores and uses genetic memory. That is why sometimes when you pass by a place you have never seen before, you may get a sudden chill up your spine or feel like you've been there before. It isn't your soul talking to you about its afterlife but you genetic memory. It is possible that an ancestor or parent of yours found that a wooden "kampung" house to be comforting and home-like. That triggers your genetic memory to suddenly make you feel safe for no reason at all. Other times, the sight of an unending jungle might trigger the genetic memory to warn you that an ancestor of yours might have been stuck in a jungle for a long time like say, during WW2 when the Japanese arrived.

How else would a bird know how to construct a nest, or fly south for the winter? Genetic memory of their predecessors that had to go through trial and error for many thousands of years to perfect the survival of their species kicks in and lets them know how to survive.

However, it is nearly impossible for most animals, especially mammals to survive without "parental guidance" as genetic memory is not something that teaching directly, but more of an adviser that makes logical suggestions without using words, which would explain why humans, with a fixed language, find it sometimes hard to interpret, and how animals with NO language find it much easier.

I was also told a great many things of how genetic memory is what influences many decisions that we make in everyday life. Like when your "heart" tells you that you should, it is more likely your subconscious genetic memory "advising" you. The indecision and surprise that something IN you is telling you what to do, leads to the increase of blood flow, and your heart starts beating a lot faster(or sink), thus leading to most humans believing that your heart is telling you something.

In the I can conclude that I am either getting somewhere or going completely nuts and babbling stuff that I know nothing about. But I did do my research!
