You can see it VERY clearly in other animals - many mammals can walk from birth, monkeys know how to cling to their parent. Spiders "know" how to construct extremely intricate webs, no practice required.

So there ARE elements of memory that are coded directly into genetic code before there's any physical structure at all to hold them, there's no question about that. How it works? Still mostly an unknown. IN THEORY could living memories be inherited from an ancestor? Who knows. It wouldn't be reincarnation of course, the memories wouldn't be from someone you "were" after they died, they'd be a copy of who they were at the point of passing on their DNA, if such things are possible at all. That I suppose would be indistinguishable from actually "being that person in another life". You might just be borrowing a snippet of a great-great-great-grandparents memory.

Interesting stuff, a good argument for religion perhaps

We have a granddaughter who’s just six years old and has been adamant for the last 3 years that she was born and lived in Ireland when she was younger ( she hasn’t of course )

Yep half Italian / Irish father but he ‘identifies’ as Italian as do all his family .. the Irish aspect is rarely mentioned ..

Strange … as she will see something like a landscape on telly and say ‘that reminds me of when I lived in Ireland … or eat something and say a similar thing ..

I should reiterate that I don’t believe any kind of hocus pocus .. UFOs or conspiracy theories ..

Pardon my ignorance but are you actually Toy Soldier 2.0 and if so, what happened to your original account?

The brain is something i've had to learn a lot more about over the last year and we are literally scratching the surface in terms of understanding how it operates.

The thing is, if you have a false memory, you have no method of distinguishing it from any other memory that you have, its just a memory that happens to be wrong. False memories can be triggered by a variety of things and you would never know that you had it because you 100% believe it happened. It's true that our brains have a certain capacity for checks and balances so that we can deduce by logic that something may not be correct, but we can never know for sure

The odd thing is she has no concept of what a country is or a what a different country is ..

Very strange

Last night I watched My dead body.on channel 4.
It was a lot to take in and it made me think about life in general.
The brain really is so complex, we still don't know everything about it.

Definitively pro-choice, then, are you? (Which is fair-game.)

I don't have a cast-iron stance on that - I lean towards being against abortion, simply because I see it as killing babies. But I know it isn't always that simple, et cetera et cetera.

I don’t agree with you on many things, Oliver, but I’m with you on abortion. Of course it’s always the woman’s choice (her body) and that’s absolutely valid but I do see it as ultimate lost potential and I just think it’s quite unfortunate when things are stacked in alignment of aborting a potential life. I’m ultimately pro-choice in technicality because it’s not my choice to make and isn’t ever going to be directly my business but it’s one of those things.
